And finally, it was Julián Álvarez. Remember, at the start of the 2026 World Cup, the suspense lasting a few days launched by Florentino Pérez regarding the mystery player for whom he was going to make an offer of €150 million. Many hoped it would be Michael Olise, dazzling with Bayern Munich. Since then, the French attacking midfielder has had a string of high-class performances with the France team, with a total of 5 assists since the start of the world tournament.

And inevitably, the pro-Madrilenian press watches this with delight and frustration. “Special mention to Olise, with all due respect to Mbappé. If you have to sell the Bernabéu to acquire it, so be it. Kylian is playing exceptionally well, and his performance shouldn’t be downplayed, but the Bayern winger makes his job a lot easier. So much so that we sometimes forget that Dembélé, author of an excellent match, is a serious candidate for the Ballon d’Or. He didn’t score yesterday, when he could have scored three or four goals, but he already has five assists in four games.”written as follows Marca.

Pérez encouraged to go heavy

France shocks the entire planet with its brilliant and complementary offensive elements. But it also leaves a bitter taste for Real Madrid fans who have the feeling of not seeing the same Mbappé with Casa Blanca… What if we had to add Michael Olise to see him shine in the same way? According to one of the journalists present on the set ofEl ChiringuitoMbappé would try to convince Olise to join him at Real Madrid. A strategy often used by Madrilenians, but which will have difficulty working if we remember the comments of the Bavarian president, made yesterday.

“As I said before, if Real Madrid president Florentino Pérez had an offer in mind, he can save himself a lot of hassle, because we don’t want to sell Michael. Bayern Munich have excellent relations with Real Madrid, and therefore they contacted me to tell me that, firstly, they have absolutely no contact with Michael Olise and, secondly, they do not want this incessant speculation in the media.had launched Herbert Hainer. Florentino Pérez has always liked to recruit World Cup sensations (James Rodríguez, Keylor Navas in 2014 for example), even if it means paying the price. He was ready to launch a record €150m offer for Julián Álvarez, but if he decides to go for Olise, it will be much more expensive.
