Not gonna lie, I think Florentino Perez didn't ACTUALLY bid for Álvarez. I think Real Madrid’s offer may have even been coordinated with Atlético to make Julián Álvarez’s move to Barcelona more difficult, because I can’t find any logical way how he would fit into Real Madrid’s squad.
With Mbappé and Vinícius already in the team, it just doesn’t make much sense and also I believe it was a PR stunt by Pérez for the elections.
Made the offer Perez said he was going to make. Atletico obviously rejected it, and that’s that. Perez was never going to follow through on making a major signing lmao
🚨 OFFICIAL COMMUNICATION FROM REAL MADRID:
Real Madrid C. F. communicates that, after the meeting of the Board of Directors held today, he has made an offer of 150 million euros to the Club Atlético de Madrid for the federative rights of the player Julián Álvarez.
After studying and evaluating it, the Club Atlético de Madrid has thanked the offer made, made within the framework of the good relations between both clubs, and has rejected it referring to the player's termination clause.
🚨 Lionel Scaloni: "If it were up to me, we wouldn't even play tomorrow's game. I don't like it.
"I need it to be over quickly.
"It's like a stone in the road for the preparation."
Election is Sunday and he’s “launching” his bid on Tuesday. He’s that desperate to win. No way people genuinely believe Bayern will even consider letting Olise go ?
After The Telegraph, @guardian also reports that Real Madrid will launch a €150m bid for Michael Olise if Florentino Pérez wins re-election as the club’s president
Pérez denied that he was talking about Olise but it is understood that the Bayern winger is exactly who Madrid intend to pursue this summer. Bayern will put up a big fight to keep Olise away from Madrid
