Real Madrid are preparing a significant offer for Crystal Palace winger Michael Olise, according to AS journalist Jose Felix Diaz. The move comes after Florentino Perez, recently re-elected as president, made a symbolic bid of €150 million for Atletico Madrid’s Julian Alvarez, which was not expected to succeed, but fulfilled a campaign promise.
Olise has become Perez’s primary target, with the Blancos supremo reportedly willing to exceed the €160 million offered for Kylian Mbappe in 2021 to secure the France international. Bayern Munich, however, are currently maintaining that Olise is not for sale at any price, presenting a considerable obstacle to Real Madrid’s ambitions.
Elsewhere, Liverpool are reportedly considering a move for Sporting CP attacker Francisco Trincao. Superagent Jorge Mendes has informed Sporting that a “massive” bid is imminent, potentially nearing Trincao’s €60 million release clause, though the identity of the bidding club remains unconfirmed. Correio da Manha reports Liverpool have been linked with Trincao as a potential replacement for Mohamed Salah, but have yet to make a formal offer.
Chelsea midfielder Enzo Fernandez is also attracting interest from Real Madrid, MARCA claims. Fernandez has openly expressed his desire to play for Los Blancos and has informed Chelsea of his wish to leave. New Real Madrid manager Jose Mourinho has reportedly identified Fernandez as a key target in midfield.
Tottenham Hotspur have initiated discussions with Koln regarding the signing of 19-year-old Said El Mala, as reported by TEAMtalk. The club is also prepared to offer a deal to Said’s brother, Malek, at the family’s request. Previous transfer attempts for El Mala to Brighton and Brentford have stalled due to valuation disagreements and the player’s reservations, respectively.
Barcelona are seeking to sell Marc Casado for a fee of €20 million, according to MARCA, in order to generate funds for incoming transfers. Manchester United are reportedly the strongest contenders for his signature, with Atletico Madrid and other clubs also expressing interest.
