Romano says Alvarez bid was a bluff, Real Madrid is focused on Olise
The ‘galáctico’ Florentino Pérez spoke about was and has always been Michael Olise. The name of the Frenchman has been mentioned in Real Madrid meetings these days and weeks. Olise remains the dream of Real Madrid. Bayern’s stance remains: they don’t want to sell the player and are prepared to offer him a contract on very big numbers.
The feeling is that the Julián Alvarez interest and ‘bid’ by Real Madrid was a bluff. They didn’t bid for Olise after Herbert Hainer’s statements because they knew that €150m was never going to be enough. Olise is now completely focused on the World Cup with France. We’ll understand more after that, with Bayern’s position unchanged.
