Perez ready to push to sign Olise for Real Madrid despite €200m Bayern rebuff | OneFootball

Real Madrid president Florentino Perez is determined to sign Bayern Munich’s Michael Olise despite the Bundesliga champions making it clear they have no intention of entertaining offers.

Per Mundo Deportivo, Olise is viewed as one of the club’s dream Galactico signings after an outstanding campaign in which he bagged 22 goals and 31 assists in 57 appearances.

The France international is bolstering his reputation this summer with impressive displays for Les Bleus at the World Cup, recording a brace of assists on his debut.

Perez has announced he will make a blockbuster attacking addition, and the 24-year-old fits the bill.

During his presidential election campaign, he pledged to bring a marquee signing to the Santiago Bernabeu, with Atletico Madrid striker Julian Alvarez reported as the primary target.

However, Atletico ruled out any possibility of a sale, while some figures close to Real believe Olise has always been the club’s preferred long-term objective.

The former Crystal Palace winger has enjoyed a sensational rise since moving to Bayern, establishing himself as one of Europe’s most dangerous attacking players.

His performances have earned him Madrid’s admiration, even as Bayern maintain an uncompromising stance over his future.

The German champions are understood to have informed interested parties that Olise is not for sale at any price.

Their honorary president, Uli Hoeness, is suggesting they would reject bids in the region of €200 million.

That valuation has done little to cool Madrid’s interest. Perez is prepared to test Bayern’s resolve regardless.

Preliminary contacts have already been made with both the Bundesliga club and representatives close to the player to assess whether any opportunity could emerge later in the transfer window.

Real Madrid recognise that completing such a deal would be extraordinarily difficult, particularly given Bayern’s firm position and Olise’s importance to Vincent Kompany’s side.

Even so, the Spanish giants are refusing to abandon hope, with Perez convinced the electrifying winger possesses the quality and star power to thrive at the Bernabeu.
