Real Madrid reportedly made an offer for Yan Diomande, amid their search for Michael Olise. Real Madrid have entered the race for Yan Diomande, making an offer worth €100 million for the RB Leipzig winger, according to Fabrizio Romano. The move comes as the club’s long-running pursuit of Michael Olise continues to meet resistance from Bayern Munich, pushing Florentino Perez’s sporting management to explore alternatives at the same position. Olise remains the priority. The Frenchman is believed to want a move to the Bernabeu, a desire that grew during his run at the 2026 World Cup alongside Kylian Mbappe, who has reportedly done his own convincing behind the scenes. Bayern, however, have made clear they consider the 24-year-old untouchable this summer, with club president Herbert Hainer stating the German champions don’t need to sell their best assets even for offers approaching €200 million. Diomande represents a different profile of pursuit altogether. The 19-year-old Ivorian, who joined Leipzig from Leganes last summer, was one of the standout performers for Côte d’Ivoire at the World Cup and finished last season with 12 goals and eight assists in 33 appearances, being selected as Rookie of the Bundesliga. 🚨⚪️ Real Madrid sent €100m official bid to RB Leipzig this week: €90m plus €10m add-ons proposal on the table.RB Leipzig have rejected as they ask for more than €100m to let Diomandé leave.Real remain in talks.🔴🔵 PSG, in talks for weeks but no agreement yet with RB. pic.twitter.com/c8U9x0vknr— Fabrizio Romano (@FabrizioRomano) July 24, 2026 Real Madrid’s chief scout, Juni Calafat, tracked him closely throughout the tournament, and multiple reports indicate Diomande himself favors a move to the Spanish capital over rival offers from Liverpool and PSG. How Real Madrid reportedly plan to land Olise Sources close to the negotiation describe a structured approach rather than an immediate bid. According to Diario As’ Joaquin Maroto, Madrid’s plan reportedly starts with generating funds through outgoing sales before formalizing anything with Bayern, with the eventual proposal framed around a fixed fee around €223 million. Per Maroto’s reporting, the club wouldn’t move until the closing days of the transfer window, between August 29 and 31, with the intention being to arrive at that stretch with clarity on departures, squad needs, and Bayern’s willingness to negotiate.
After sharing the stage in the France national team during the World Cup, Kylian Mbappe is reportedly trying to convince Bayern Munich's Michael Olise to join him at Real Madrid. Michael Olise has established himself as one of the premier playmakers in the world, both through his recent play at Bayern Munich and his performance with France at the 2026 World Cup. Now, his future with the Bavarian powerhouse has been thrown into doubt amid reports that Kylian Mbappe is pushing to convince Olise to join him at Real Madrid. As reported by German outlet Sport Bild, Olise is eager to complete a move to Real Madrid during the summer transfer window, even going so far as to express that desire to his French national teammates during the World Cup. Furthermore, Mbappe has reportedly been an active recruiter in the potential move, leveraging his close relationship with Olise according to the German publication. The Real Madrid superstar has not only urged the playmaker to make the jump, but has also acted as an intermediary with club president Florentino Perez to get the green light for the transfer. Thus far, Real Madrid has not formally approached Olise or his management team. That aligns with an understanding reached back in June between Perez and Bayern president Herbert Hainer, where both clubs agreed never to poach a player from the other without first providing official notification of their interest. Kylian Mbappe #10 and Michael Olise #11 of France celebrate after the 1-0 victory over Paraguay. Still, Bayern holds the upper hand regarding any potential push from Real Madrid or another suitor. Back in March, Bayern board member for sport Max Eberl addressed the player’s contract situation directly: “Michael has a contract with us until 2029, without a release clause—we are relaxed.“ Following his impressive World Cup run with France, Olise’s Transfermarkt valuation received an update, surging to €170 million ($194M). Given that he is only 24 years old, under contract through 2029, and would command a record-breaking transfer fee, securing Olise will be no easy task for Real Madrid. Olise and Mbappe: A partnership that already works According to Sport Bild, Mbappé’s pursuit of Olise stems not only from their personal relationship, but also their natural chemistry on the pitch. Unsurprisingly, the duo emerged as one of the most dangerous pairings at the 2026 World Cup. Olise capped his World Cup campaign with seven assists, the most by any player in a single tournament in FIFA history. Five of those setups went directly to Mbappe, who turned them into goals. Overall, six of the Bayern star’s 10 career international assists with Les Bleus have been finished by the Real Madrid forward. At present, Vinícius Júnior and Kylian Mbappe lead Real Madrid’s attack as the squad’s marquee superstars, though the front line is still striving to reach its peak fluid form. Slotting Olise into a primary playmaking role could provide the missing piece Los Blancos need to truly unlock their potential.
Korey: I think Savinho should go to Tottenham for more minutes, and then we should try to sign Michael Olise from Bayern Munich or Desire Doue from Paris St-Germain. Mamu: Rodri's mind is Real Madrid bound, so we should cash-in on him and bring that Moroccan kid Ayyoub Bouaddi in as soon as possible. Youssef: I would love to see us get Nuno Mendes, especially if Rodri leaves, which would see Nico O'Reilly pushing up into midfield with Elliot Anderson.
The 2026 World Cup has come to an end, and World Soccer Talk is elaborating the Best XI of the tournament in North America. The 2026 World Cup has officially drawn to a close, with Spain capturing its second global title in a 1-0 extra-time thriller over Lionel Messi and Argentina. As players disperse and return to their respective clubs, a select group left an indelible mark on North America, earning a place in our Best XI for the largest, most expansive World Cup in soccer history. This historic 48-team tournament bridged the past, present, and future of global stardom, featuring legacy icons like Lionel Messi, Cristiano Ronaldo, Neymar, and Luka Modric alongside the sport’s modern titan in Kylian Mbappe and Rodri, plus rising superstars like Erling Haaland, Lamine Yamal, Jude Bellingham, and Desire Doue. While figures from every era produced iconic moments on the pitch, only 11 players made the cut for World Soccer Talk’s dream lineup, structured in a traditional 4-3-3 formation. Goalkeeper and Defenders In goal, Unai Simon authored a historical campaign, setting a World Cup record for consecutive shutout minutes while capturing the Golden Glove with seven clean sheets. Conceding just a single goal during Spain’s quarterfinal clash against Belgium, the Athletic Bilbao stopper served as the ultimate security net behind La Roja’s march to glory. Marc Cucurella #24 of Spain. Spain also swept the fullback positions in our XI, anchored by Pedro Porro on the right and Marc Cucurella on the left. Blending relentless overlapping runs with disciplined defensive coverage, the duo completely locked down the flanks and gave Spain the most complete fullback tandem in the tournament. Pau Cubarsi, who earned the FIFA Young Player Award, secured his spot at center-back after fearlessly organizing Spain’s defense against Ronaldo, Mbappe, and Messi, capping his tournament with a legendary clearance in the final. Partnering him is Argentina’s Cristian Romero, who despite his side conceding eight total goals throughout the tournament, proved to be a dominant, warrior-like presence on the backline with crucial tackles and clutch aerial defense. Midfielders Awarded the World Cup Golden Ball as the tournament’s top player, Rodri dictated the tempo of every match for Spain, leading all players with a staggering 94.5 completed passes per game. Operating alongside him, Jude Bellingham served as England’s heartbeat, directly contributing to seven goals and driving the Three Lions to a third-place finish, their finest performance on foreign soil in program history. Operating in an attacking role, Michael Olise rounds out the midfield following a legendary individual tournament. In his World Cup debut, the Bayern Munich playmaker recorded seven assists, breaking Pele’s 56-year-old single-tournament assist record (6) set during the 1970 World Cup in Mexico. Forwards Stationed on the right wing, Lionel Messi delivered another heroic, timeless World Cup performance, almost single-handedly driving Argentina back to the final. The legendary captain scored eight goals and provided four assists, directly factoring into 12 of Argentina’s 19 total goals throughout their run in North America. At center forward, Erling Haaland gets the nod after a breathtaking debut campaign that yielded seven goals in just five matches, leading Norway to its first World Cup appearance in 28 years. The Manchester City superstar announced himself on the global stage with an iconic two-goal performance against Brazil in the Round of 16, propelling the Scandinavian nation into the quarterfinals for the first time in its history. Messi posted after the semifinal Rounding out the front line, Kylian Mbappe claims the final spot after taking home the World Cup Golden Boot with 10 goals and four assists. At just 27 years old, the French icon cemented his status among the game’s all-time greats, bringing his career total to an astonishing 22 World Cup goals in 22 career matches. 2026 Worl
