Real Madrid targets Michael Olise as potential Galactico signing this summer
Summary

Real Madrid is prioritizing the signing of French winger Michael Olise as their key target in this summer's transfer window. The club's president, Florentino Perez, had previously promised a major signing soon after the recent presidential election. While they have made an initial bid for Julian Alvarez that was rejected, Olise is viewed as a crucial addition due to his chemistry with Kylian Mbappe. Madrid has not yet engaged with Olise's representatives but plans to do so, although acquiring him may involve a significant financial outlay of around €222 million. If a move for Olise does not materialize, the club is prepared to pursue other prominent signings.
