Florentino Perez tells Bayern Munich president ‘you will have to sell Olise to me’ – report | OneFootball

Even when the agenda is purely institutional, transfer speculation tends to follow Florentino Perez everywhere.

That was once again the case when Bayern Munich president Herbert Hainer visited the Santiago Bernabeu to attend the Real Madrid university graduation ceremony at the invitation of the club president. 

While the event itself had no sporting purpose, a brief exchange between the two executives has reignited talk surrounding Michael Olise and Real Madrid’s long-standing admiration for the French winger.

According to El Chiringuito TV, Perez could not resist making his intentions known during their conversation.

Perez’s message over Michael Olise Real Madrid dream

The Michael Olise Real Madrid rumours have resurfaced after details of the conversation between Perez and Hainer emerged.

Real Madrid have been linked with the Bayern Munich attacker for some time and continue to view him as a key addition to an already star-studded squad.

As such, during Hainer’s visit to the Bernabeu, Perez was reportedly heard saying, “In the end, you will have to sell Olise to me.”

Whether the comment was made in jest or carried a direct message remains open to interpretation, but it certainly shows Real Madrid’s admiration for the French international.

Reports in recent months have suggested that Los Blancos see Olise as a potential Galactico signing, someone who could strengthen a position that has lacked continuity for several seasons.

Real Madrid transfer plans include a marquee addition

Despite the continued speculation, both Real Madrid and Bayern Munich have publicly distanced themselves from any suggestion that negotiations are taking place.

Bayern have repeatedly insisted they have no intention of selling the winger, while Real Madrid have also downplayed reports of a possible pursuit.

That, however, has not stopped the discussion from persisting.

Michael Olise has long been viewed as a player whose style could complement Kylian Mbappe, with many believing the pair possess the attributes to form one of Europe’s most dangerous attacking partnerships.

His pace, decision-making and ability to create opportunities in one-on-one situations have established him as one of the most exciting forwards in European football.

For now, though, Bayern remain firm in their stance, as the German champions consider Olise an important part of their project and are not actively exploring a sale.
