Real Madrid are preparing a massive £130 million bid for Bayern Munich midfielder Michael Olise, with the move dependent on Florentino Pérez securing another term as club president this weekend.
The French winger has emerged as Los Blancos’ primary transfer target for the summer window, with Pérez expected to comfortably win re-election against rival candidate Enrique Riquelme. The presidential vote comes as Madrid look to strengthen their attacking options ahead of next season’s campaign.
Olise, who made a high-profile switch to the Bundesliga giants last summer, has been closely monitored by Madrid’s scouting network in recent months. The 23-year-old’s performances in Bavaria have caught the attention of Europe’s elite, with potential new Madrid manager José Mourinho reportedly among those to have watched the versatile attacker in action.
The election campaign has not been without controversy, as Riquelme’s bold promise to bring Manchester City striker Erling Haaland to the Santiago Bernabéu has prompted threats of legal action from the Premier League champions. Meanwhile, Pérez appears focused on a more realistic target in Olise, whose blend of creativity and goalscoring threat fits Madrid’s long-term vision.
