“I will make an offer of 150 million euros on Tuesday to recruit one of the best players for a Champions League team”. Thursday evening, on the show HorizonteFlorentino Pérez revealed a little bomb. Even if he immediately clarified that it was not Michael Olise… the Spanish press is convinced that this mystery recruit is none other than the French international from Bayern.
“He will know very well if he should stay at Bayern Munich or if he needs a change of scenery. There is no right or wrong choice. Obviously, if I were in Kompany’s place or the president of Bayern, having him in the team and seeing him stay at Bayern would be a great thing. I imagine he could also receive offers from other clubs. I don’t fear that he will reproduce elsewhere what he does at Bayern or with the France team. But if I said that, it wouldn’t be in Bayern’s interest. (…) I am very happy for him, but the credit goes to him above all”indicated Didier Deschamps, when he was questioned on this subject on Saturday.
Movement behind the scenes
Without too much surprise, Bayern Munich closes the door to the departure of the 24-year-old player. But Real Madrid – in the event that Florentino Pérez is indeed re-elected this Sunday – will insist. As indicated by Jorge Picon, a journalist well informed on Merengues news, Pérez’s teams have already spoken with Olise’s entourage. Contacts that the current president logically cannot admit publicly, but which exist well behind the scenes.
For his part, Ramon Alvarez de Mon, who works notably for Radio Marcaclarified that the French winger is interested and open to the idea of playing for Real Madrid, but he will not force anything out of respect for Bayern. Everything should therefore accelerate tomorrow in the event of victory for Florentino Pérez this evening, he who is favorite to win the club’s presidential elections. It’s off to a hell of a soap opera!
