For weeks, Real Madrid searched for the mole of Casa Blanca. Several sources revealed that Dani Ceballos would be the person who leaked information to the media. Now, the roles are reversed and it is the turn of the Iberian media to look for the star promised by Florentino Pérez. Last night, the boss of Casa Blanca, launched in the middle of the electoral campaign, made a big announcement. “I am going to make an offer of €150 million on Tuesday to recruit one of the best players for a Champions League team (…) The offer of €150 million will not concern Michael Olise. He’s a great player, but that’s not him. It won’t be Erling Haaland either and it won’t be Harry Kane, no. I heard Jérémy Doku too, it won’t be him. In fact, the €150m offer does not concern a Premier League player. The offer will be for a player of the caliber of Cristiano Ronaldo or Kaká. It’s a galactic.”
All eyes are on PSG
He added: “I signed Zidane, Figo, Beckham, Cristiano, Kaká… This player is part of this category. With me, there will be Mourinho, Konaté, Dumfries and the most expensive player in the history of the club because yes Tuesday, it will be a record offer for the club. We are ready to pay more than €150 million in costs. This transfer of €150 million does not concern a defender. It could be a midfielder or a striker, he’s a young player.” Pérez dropped a lot of clues about this famous recruit. But he has not yet revealed his identity. The Spanish media activated all their networks to be the first to announce the name of this Galactic. The transfer window specialist, Fabrizio Romano, hopes to get ahead of them. Last night, he indicated that we must look towards PSG.
The names of Vitinha, João Neves, Désiré Doué and Khvicha Kvaratskhelia were mentioned. That of Jamal Musiala (Bayern Munich) too. But on the other side of the Pyrenees, the press announces that it is a Parisian player who will be announced by the Madrid boss. This, even if A.S. doesn’t rule out Michael Olise. Although this lead was denied by Florentino Pérez, the Iberian daily explains that the Frenchman really likes the leader of Casa Blanca. He was impressed by his match against PSG in the semi-final first leg of the Champions League. The announced price could also correspond, without forgetting the fact that José Mourinho went to supervise a Bayern Munich match at the end of the season. But it still seems strange since Pérez said it’s not about him.
Several Spanish media are talking about Vitinha
For A.S.the most serious tracks lead to Vitinha and João Neves. Two players represented by Jorge Mendes, with whom the Madrid president has better relations. This is also the case with PSG and Nasser Al-Khelaïfi. Despite this, the European and French champions will be very difficult to convince. For other media, the lucky one is Vitinha. On the Cadena SERAlvaro Benito confided: “for €150 million, I can only imagine a Vitinha…” Onda Cero is more affirmative. “The player for whom Florentino Pérez will offer 150 million is Vitinha”launched journalist Edu Pidal. Still on Spanish radio, Iturralde González considers it a difficult transfer: “Florentino is not absolutely certain that, despite his €150m offer, the transfer will go through. If he had the player’s agreement and was sure the club would accept the offer, he would have announced his name. As for the name of the player, the only option left to me is Vitinha.
Jesús Gallego is also perplexed and assures that “PSG does not sell, and certainly not to Real Madrid”. Finally, Bruno Alemany cited an idea that should not be forgotten. “I love Vitinha, and I also think he is a player that Real Madrid needs. If they can get him, he would be a fantastic signing. In fact, he would be the star recruit of the transfer window, as few players would better fit the club’s needs than Vitinha currently at Real Madrid. But I have the feeling that it is Désiré Doué. He is a player who benefits from significant playing time, but he is not an indisputable starter at PSG. He is a European champion, he is young, and above all, he plays on the right wing, where Real Madrid’s main offensive weakness lies. If Vitinha is the lucky one according to several media, nothing has been decided yet. But everything suggests that it is a PSG player, who would be Vitinha. Answer Tuesday…
