Real Madrid have denied making any contact with Crystal Palace winger Michael Olise over a summer move, according to ESPN.
Summary
Real Madrid have denied making any direct or indirect contact with Crystal Palace winger Michael Olise regarding a potential summer transfer, according to ESPN.
The Details
ESPN reports that the Spanish giants have rejected claims that they have approached the 22-year-old France youth international. Olise, who has been impressive for Palace, has been linked with a move to the Bernabeu, but Madrid insist no contact has been made.
The denial comes amid speculation that Real Madrid are looking to strengthen their attacking options. Olise, who can play on either wing or as an attacking midfielder, has been one of Palace's standout performers since joining from Reading in 2021.
What It Means
While Real Madrid's denial does not rule out future interest, it suggests that any deal is not imminent. Olise remains under contract at Selhurst Park until 2026, and Palace are under no pressure to sell. The club values the player highly and would likely demand a significant fee.
For now, Olise's focus will be on continuing his development with Palace. The winger has already earned caps for France at Under-21 level and will be hoping to break into the senior squad ahead of future tournaments.
