UEFA Champions League 2026/27 Season

[LUCKMCFLY]

It's difficult for a player to turn down an offer from a team as big as Real Madrid, and that's what Olise is currently experiencing. Although Bayern Munich has firmly stated they won't sell, if the player's demands are greater, they will reconsider.
However, I believe Olise should go to Real Madrid if he wants to win the Champions League or individual trophies, as there's a strong possibility that his individual career will improve if he joins Real Madrid.

I honestly don't know why Olise hasn't done anything to sign for Real Madrid. Okay, he's shining at Bayern, but like you said, at Real Madrid he has a much better chance of winning a Champions League title. Now that they're strengthening their squad, Real Madrid has a tremendous team; it will be very difficult to beat them. Besides that, they have the Special One, so they're building a great team, well, I'd say a super team. Now they're in a position to put on a good performance in the Clásico.

Bayern Munich still want Olise with them and are not ready to sell him now. Olise have shown he is a reliable player. In the last season of 32 Bundesliga appearances, Olise had scored 15 goals and 19 assists during his last Bundesliga league. This is why he’s well sought by Real Madrid but no player like Olise will be willing to leave a club he’s currently having the platform he needs and this Real Madrid is not even a reliable club for now considering how inconsistent they became losing some major and silly mistake

Olise is not leaving Bayern Munich anytime because of the club's current UCL campaign intention. It's been a while since Bayern won the Champions League, and to think of how close they were last season to going to the final, the club has decided that Olise has a significant role to play for the UCL campaign next season.

However, Yan Diamonde has made a move to Real Madrid. Meaning, there is no chance for Olise anymore.

[broccolo9]

The player?s current team?s strategy is to demand a large sum that the team interested in signing him might not be willing to pay.
Bayern could set a high price for Olise. But Real Madrid might be willing to pay it if their interest in Olise reaches its peak. Another factor that could influence Olise?s move to Real Madrid lies in the encouragement he receives from people with whom he has a good relationship. Take Kylian Mbappé, for example.

But in my opinion, Olise won?t be going to Real Madrid this season. The story might play out much like Real Madrid?s signing of Kylan Mbappe. The player most likely to join Real Madrid in this transfer window is Rodri.

It's highly unlikely they'll sign Olise; they can't risk spending so much money right away. They still have time to evaluate other options, and also because they have time to analyze what other teams are doing. The same goes for Rodri; I'm not sure they'll sign him, but we'll see how the transfer market unfolds.

It’s a tempting one to not go for it. Now they know it’s possible, they’ve won it and defended it for a second time, making it a triple just like Real Madrid is surely an idea they are considering but, it’s doubtful even for PSG.

It won't be easy but I'm not doubtful if PSG decides to go at it for the 3rd time. They're easily the best attacking team and well rounded in other areas like defense and midfield but their attack is elite stuff. Imagine if PSG gets an easier route to the final like Arsenal had last season. Winning back to back UCL especially for first time winners like PSG is no easy feat and if I'm asked if there's any team right now that can do 3 for 3 like Real Madrid, it would be PSG.

If PSG's performance remains unchanged, I'm confident they have the potential to reach the final next season. But it certainly won't be easy, and it will certainly be different from the previous season. Because, essentially, other teams will also continue to improve their performance to become even stronger. So,, based on that, PSG will clearly have a more difficult path to becoming champions in the Champions League. Because they aren't the only ones aiming for this prestigious trophy. Nevertheless, I remain optimistic that PSG will most likely be able to reach the semifinals,, at least. Because currently, the biggest threats to PSG are only Arsenal, Real Madrid, Barcelona,  and Munich. So, if PSG can beat one of those four teams, PSG will certainly be able to advance to the semifinals. So, for that reason, I think PSG certainly has the potential to become champions, but the path will certainly be even more difficult.

It will be best for Olise to just remain in Real Madrid for now. I believe he still has to improve more in the club and I believe the teams playstyle accommodate him and has given him confidence in the pitch but going to another team where you do not have the necessary support you used to have in the formal club or their play style is not really as compatible as yours will  really affect your performance. It is not mainly building the team around you but where you can perform better than you used to do before, I know he might do well in Real Madrid but he will still need to stay in Bayern Munich at least for this season.

If you are sincere with your analysis, do you consider Bayern in a far much better position than Bayern? forget about past glory and the fact that real Madrid have young and happening players, staying at Bayern is also a good option for the likes of Olise. As a player, it is better to stay at a team where you are valued and where your team mate are hungry to win titles and are not just feeling entitled to winning it. real Madrid always have the best of players right from time but at the end of the day, other teams have always come in their way to winning all the leagues. they have never had it easy winning not just the champions league but even Laliga. Telling Olise to leave bayern and join real Madrid is nothing different from expecting Dembele to leave PSG for same course.

You sound so sure that with Jose Mourinho in Madrid, that they would win the UCL this coming season. Why such assurance? Why do you also say that real Madrid has a better chance of winning the UCL compared to Beyern. I think for last season and even previous season, Beyern Munich has been a better team compared to Real Madrid. Madrid used to be very powerful, but for now, seems they lost the spark, and we are not yet sure of what they will offer this season.

I can't compare Real Madrid to Beyern Munich presently. I believe Beyern Munich are better and stronger and more formidable. If you ask me, I will give Beyern a higher winning probability over Madrid presently. Talking about Olise leaving to Madrid, I would prefer he stays on Garmany. I believe he is having nice season and time in the German Bundesliga and he is making a name for himself. If he feels moving to Spain win give him the name he wants, it's okay. But for me, I would rather he stays there and make more glory. I believe Beyern will win the UCL soon.. they are really playing good

[Inwestour]

There is no reason to expect Bayern Munich to disband their incredible offense trio now. Olise, Diaz and Kane all would stay this summer. They need these players to play seriously for the CL title again.

However Kane's current contract seems to be ending by next summer. They are looking for extending it lately and he also wants to do so.



Do you think Kompany can get his first CL trophy this early as a manager? 

Right now, the whole story about Olise's potential move to Real Madrid appears to be over. Sky Germany, a German publication, wrote an article claiming there were no official negotiations between Real Madrid and Bayern. And the player's agent has not held any negotiations with Real Madrid either. So, it now seems clear that Harry Kane, Olise, and Diaz will all remain at Bayern Munich for the upcoming season.

I don't think Real Madrid was particularly keen on signing Olise; they signed Diomande instead.
Real Madrid already has plenty of players like Olise.
I followed Olise during the World Cup, and his biggest weakness is his finishing ability.
Real Madrid has many players capable of providing assists, but if Olise had also possessed strong finishing skills, they would have signed him.

I really expected Barcelona to sign Kane, since they lack a number 9 like him, but he ended up staying at Bayern.

Yes, today i also believe that Bayern is superior to Real Madrid, but a possible transfer of Olise to Real Madrid would change this point of view, given that an incredible attacking trident would be created, giving confidence to the whole team and making them as fearsome as in previous years.

Recently Madrid have reach deal agreement signing top youth players Yan Diomande and would be Michael Olise transfer almost failure because both players have the same position playing, based on transfer summer transfers activities from Real Madrid and how many top recruitment I think Madrid more superior from Bayern Munich this season in Champion League.

For awhile, waiting until all playoff round matches over before drawing matches of UEFA Champion League during phase league round and we can't predictable any possibility for the top teams will qualify to next round or have to play at playoff round.

PSG on the other hand doesn't even need to play full time with their leaders to win most of the games in the French League.

If Man City had it as easily in the domestic league, PSG would probably still have zero UCL cups right now.

You don't agree with me at all, i think they would have played it anyway, City didn't have their best season and finished second thanks to a prodigious Haaland.
However, Paris Saint-Germain continues to maintain its excellent team play as does City but to say that one would have done better than another is not true.

I don't agree with that exactly... We never know what would have happened in that case. Man, Luis Enrique has had an incredible game plan working smoothly. It isn't just because they have an easier domestic league.

Even if PSG were playing in the same league as Manchester City, I would still expect them as one of the biggest title contenders. Therefore we shouldn't underestimate the work Luis Enrique has done so far.

[Frankolala]

Yet in the last UEFA Supercup final, which took place in the very beginning of the season (when English teams aren't as exhausted) they barely managed to beat Tottenham (only won by penalties).

Mind you, the very same Tottenham, that in the very same season almost failed to stay in the Premier League!

I'm willing to bet PSG will struggle against Aston Villa in the upcoming final as well.

It's a norm for a strong team to struggle to win their matches. The most important thing is that they will end up winning and that's what matters. Even if PSG struggle to win Aston Villa, as long as they don't lose the game, you cannot call them weak. It's when they lose the game that I will agree with everything you have said above

Let's say that since the format of the Champions League has changed and it is difficult to have a more favorable path than another, each team will play 8 matches with different teams so everything seems quite balanced, it becomes interesting once the group stage is over, Paris Saint-Germain obviously starts as the favorite thanks to the last 2 victories of the competition and an increasingly compact squad.

What attracted Real Madrid to Olise wasn't just his impressive performances alongside Muchen, but also his impressive performance at the World Cup with France, noting seven assists. Olise did plan to move to advance his career, but Muchen didn't want to let him go, especially since Muchen desperately needed him to compete next season. Furthermore, Real Madrid didn't seem too eager to bring Olise back because they had a good relationship with Muchen, and they didn't want to ruin it. Therefore, Olise other alternative was to bring in Yan Diamonde.

That's what I saw from the Olise transfer drama between Muchen and Real Madrid. So, Olise reason for not wanting to move isn't because Madrid can't be relied upon, given their poor season. In fact, Real Madrid has a very impressive squad next season and every player has big dreams of playing for Real Madrid. But whatever it is, I'm happy that Muchen finally retained Olise next season because without Olise Muchen strength to compete in the UCL will be reduced.

That is good news for Bayern Munich since Real Madrid didn’t submit any bid to sign Olise as the rumors has it before the World Cup, this means that both the trio can still play together for yet another season, I just hope they can go far in the Champions League next season as they did last season.

Vincent Kompany should focus on defensive reinforcements, their lack of sold defense last season made them concede goals last season, they need to match their defensive quality to their attacking quality so that they can have a perfect performance next season.

By no means I would ever call PSG "weak".
They're arguably one of the strongest teams the last few years (actually, probably even since Ibrahimovic's times).

What I'm saying however, is that they are not the strongest in the world back-to-back.
Arsenal were stronger as a team, but much more exhausted. Man City is stronger, but both had bad luck and extreme levels of exhaustion.

Unfortunately it may stay the same for a while, PSG are strong enough to rival anyone but the edge of having an easy domestic league is a giant advantage that's not going away any time soon.

I also don't think Real Madrid seriously considered signing Olise. He's under contract until 2029 - that would be an insanely expensive transfer. Real Madrid doesn't do that often.
As for Kane, what would have been the point of leaving prime Bayern Munich, club churning out titles and with a decent chance of winning the Champions League, for struggling Barcelona? It was a phantom possibility, existing only in the minds of journalists and Barcelona fans.

Real Madrid is a team with a lot of money, although they aren't reckless in spending money on players. But if a player has proven himself in another league, with some talent and a touch that Madrid likes, I don't think Madrid will wait to sign him. This season's transfer window may be hotter, but a team with a lot of money will always have the upper hand and won't wait to see what other teams do first, because Madrid isn't a team that wants to waste time waiting for other teams to make a move.
