Real Madrid President Florentino Pérez has become the talk of the football world after announcing that Los Blancos are preparing a massive €150 million bid to sign a major superstar, whose identity remains hidden.
Pérez’s bombshell announcement comes just hours before the highly anticipated Real Madrid presidential elections this Sunday, where he faces fierce competition from prominent billionaire Enrique Riquelme.
After Riquelme claimed he would secure Erling Haaland and Rodri if elected, Pérez responded in spectacular fashion. The iconic Madrid president confirmed the signings of Ibrahima Konaté and Denzel Dumfries, alongside the appointment of José Mourinho, before dropping the €150m shocker for a player “in the mold of Kaká and Cristiano Ronaldo.”
Spanish Media Split Between PSG Duo João Neves and Vitinha
Spanish outlets report that the profile described by Pérez fits only two Paris Saint-Germain stars: João Neves or Vitinha.
Most indicators point toward Neves, as Pérez emphasized that this marquee signing is a young talent who represents the future of the club—perfectly aligning with the 21-year-old Portuguese midfielder. However, Neves recently expressed his happiness at PSG after winning his second consecutive UEFA Champions League title, casting doubt on the potential move despite Pérez’s immense confidence.
Téléfoot Claims Bayern Munich Star Michael Olise Is the Real Target
In a dramatic twist, French outlet Téléfoot reported on Friday that the €150m bid is actually intended for Michael Olise, despite Pérez previously denying interest in the Bayern Munich winger.
The report suggests that Pérez is simply using a smokescreen to divert attention from Olise, who remains the absolute favorite for both the president and incoming manager José Mourinho. Real Madrid will try their best to convince Bayern Munich to sell.
While Bayern’s honorary president, Uli Hoeness, previously stated that selling Olise is completely impossible regardless of the price, Real Madrid reportedly hopes the player himself will push for a move to Spain to force Bayern’s hand.
