This week, Florentino Pérez captivated Real Madrid fans by promising to invest heavily in a new star if he is re-elected as president next weekend. Although he did not specify which player he intends to sign, it was revealed that Michael Olise is his priority. Olise is a player that Real Madrid have been following for some time, with rumors emerging in recent months. Pérez plans to present an initial offer of 150 million euros if he beats Enrique Riquelme in Sunday's elections, although the likelihood of the Bernabéu club receiving a negative response to that proposal is high. During the period when Olise was linked to Real Madrid earlier in the season, Uli Hoeness, honorary president of Bayern Munich, made it clear that they would not consider any sale. According to BILD (via Sport), Bayern's position remains the same: Olise is untouchable. Bayern are aware that Pérez plans to make a bid for Olise if he wins Real Madrid's presidential election, which is why they have moved quickly to make it clear that any bid will be rejected. They are certain that the 24-year-old, who registered 22 goals and 26 assists in all competitions during the 2025-26 season, will not leave the Allianz Arena. It is undeniable that the next talks between Real Madrid and Bayern — conditional on an electoral victory for Pérez — will be difficult for the Spaniards. They can't force the Bundesliga champions to sell,

although they could try to pressure Olise into asking for a transfer, given that they could use the appeal of joining the 15-time European champions to convince him to accept the move. It will be interesting to see how the Olise situation plays out, but first and foremost, Pérez's focus will be on securing an electoral victory on Sunday.
