Real Madrid are exploring a deal structure for Bayern Munich winger Michael Olise (23) that would combine a cash offer of between €100m and €130m with the inclusion of either Aurélien Tchouaméni or Eduardo Camavinga, according to Defensa Central. The proposal would not be framed as a direct player swap but as two separate operations, with the total package approaching €200m in either scenario.
As previously covered on Football Espana, Florentino Pérez has been willing to commit over €200m to land Olise, and the latest reported structure represents an attempt to make that ambition workable in practice rather than simply throwing a single enormous cash bid at a club that has already said no.
The two variants of the plan hinge on which midfielder Los Blancos include. If Tchouaméni is the player offered, Madrid would value him at around €100m and pair that with a €100m cash payment for Olise – a combined package of roughly €200m. If Camavinga is included instead, Madrid would place his value at approximately €70m and increase the cash portion to €130m, arriving at a broadly equivalent total.
Structuring the deal as two separate operations, rather than one swap, is significant: it allows both clubs to book transfer income and expenditure independently, which has implications for how each accounts for the movement under their respective financial rules. It also gives Bayern the option to decline the midfielder without that decision collapsing the Olise negotiation entirely – though in practice, the two transactions are clearly linked.
Bayern’s public stance has been unambiguous and consistent. Club president Herbert Hainer stated directly that if Pérez wanted to make an offer, “he can save himself the trouble,” adding that Bayern are not a selling club. Board member Karl-Heinz Rummenigge described Olise as “unsellable” – language that goes beyond standard negotiating posture and signals a genuine institutional reluctance rather than an inflated asking price waiting to be met.
