Real Madrid eyes Michael Olise amid potential record transfer fee

Summary

Real Madrid is pursuing a transfer for Michael Olise from Bayern Munich, having learned of the player's desire to join them. The club must prepare for a significant financial outlay, potentially exceeding €222 million, the record set by Neymar's transfer to PSG. Discussions about Olise have intensified, but Bayern is unlikely to allow his departure easily. Real Madrid reportedly needs to make space in their squad, possibly by selling Vinicius Jr., as they prepare to finalize the potential signing after the ongoing FIFA World Cup.
