Real Madrid president's plan if deal for Michael Olise falls through - report

Real Madrid’s summer plans could hinge on whether a move for Michael Olise succeeds, with a contingency strategy reportedly in place if the deal fails. The article says Olise is the priority, viewed internally as a long-term successor to Vinícius Jr., whose contract expires in 2027 without an apparent renewal agreement despite discussions dating back to early 2025. Bayern Munich, however, is described as refusing to sell and working to extend Olise’s contract while doubling his salary. If Real Madrid cannot complete Olise, club president Florentino Pérez reportedly intends to pursue one of the standout performers from the World Cup as an alternative. Targets mentioned include Yan Diomande of RB Leipzig, reportedly valued around €120 million, and Ayyoub Bouaddi of Lille, with offers estimated near €80 million.
