Despite Perez's Words: Is Olise the Player Real Madrid is Preparing a Multi-Million Euro Bid For?

Despite Real Madrid president Florentino Perez's assertion that Michael Olise is not the player he's preparing a multi-million euro bid for, English newspaper "The Telegraph" claims the Bayern Munich winger is indeed the target of the Los Blancos boss.

The publication suggests Real Madrid is ready to offer €150 million for Olise, provided Perez is re-elected as club president.

Perez previously stated that if he wins Sunday's elections, he would make an offer for a new player, a true "galactico," as early as next Tuesday. He didn't name the player but noted that he doesn't play in the English Premier League and is with a top club in the Champions League.

The presidential candidate publicly denied that Olise was the player in question, but according to the source, the Bayern winger is precisely the footballer Perez was referring to. Real Madrid is also reportedly interested in Paris Saint-Germain midfielders João Neves and Vitinha, but Olise remains Perez's priority target for now, should he win the elections.

The Frenchman's contract with the German champions runs until the summer of 2029. Bayern Munich, for their part, have no intention of parting ways with the French star, who had a phenomenal season with 22 goals and 31 assists in 52 appearances for the Bavarians.
