Real Madrid told to forget Michael Olise bid
Bayern have told Real Madrid to forget any bid for Michael Olise, according to statements from Christian Falk and Bayern President Herbert Hainer. Paris Saint-Germain have also been reported as interested in Olise.
Real Madrid have yet to complete a blockbuster signing this summer. Their €150 million bid for Julian Alvarez was rejected on Tuesday. President Florentino Perez has promised a Galactico signing but none has materialised yet.
Jose Mourinho will be joined at the Santiago Bernabeu by Ibrahima Konate, Denzel Dumfries and, reportedly, Bernardo Silva after the Manchester City midfielder turned down offers from Barcelona and Atletico Madrid.
Potential targets for a major Real Madrid bid include Vitinha, Joao Neves and Michael Olise. Vitinha has long been described as a Real Madrid dream player, while Neves is a newer addition to the wishlist. Olise’s recent Champions League performance against Real Madrid has reportedly impressed President Florentino Perez.
