Real Madrid is considering trading Vinicius Júnior to free up space in its squad and invest in signing Bayern Munich standout Michael Olise. The Brazilian striker, a star of the Mais Querido club, has yet to reach a renewal agreement with the Spanish club, fueling speculation about his departure.


According to information released by the Transfer Feed portal, Real Madrid is closely monitoring Olise's situation. The 23-year-old French winger has been attracting attention for his consistent performance at Bayern Munich and has reportedly been recommended by Kylian Mbappé, with whom he plays for the French national team.


The Spanish club doesn't intend to further increase its payroll with another high-profile player without first negotiating with some of the current squad. If Vinicius Júnior is indeed put up for sale, Florentino Pérez could move forward with negotiations to bring in Olise, bolstering the attacking sector.


MICHAEL OLISE'S NUMBERS

Signed last season after excelling at Crystal Palace in England, Olise has already made 59 appearances for the German giants. During this time, he directly contributed to 44 goals: scoring 24 and assisting another 20. His career in English football began with Reading, where he also attracted attention for his talent and versatility.


VINICIUS JUNIOR'S FUTURE

The uncertainty surrounding the Brazilian's contract renewal creates a climate of anticipation in the European market . If he leaves, Flamengo could see one of its most recent stars leave the Spanish club and reap a profit on the sale.
