Michael Olise is currently one of football's hottest properties. Despite Florentino Pérez denying that the Bayern winger is the "bombshell" signing he intends to offer José Mourinho should he win the Real Madrid elections, the Spanish press insists Olise is indeed the player Pérez alluded to when he promised to break the Spanish giant's transfer record.

Currently with the French national team after another stellar season for the German champions, where he scored 22 goals and provided 27 assists in 52 games, Olise's name could ignite the transfer market even during the World Cup.

However, Didier Deschamps, in an interview with the newspaper Marca, assures that this will not bother the player.

«I'm very happy for him, because he fully deserves it. He's absolutely thrilled with what he's achieved and to be among the world's best players. But media exposure isn't his world. He's a discreet, somewhat shy person. The most important thing is what he does on the pitch,» Deschamps stated.

Regarding a potential move after two seasons with the Bavarians, the national team coach trusts any decision Olise might make.

«He will know very well whether he should stay at Bayern or seek a new challenge. There's no right or wrong solution. Of course, if I put myself in Kompany's [Bayern's coach] shoes, I'd want him to stay at the club. But I believe he might receive offers from other clubs,» he analyzed.

Florentino Pérez has not revealed the player for whom he is willing to offer 150 million euros if he wins this Sunday's election, but he left clues: the player does not play in the Premier League and is neither a goalkeeper nor a defender. See some of the possible names in the gallery below:
