Olise is currently shining at the World Cup with five assists, including one for Kylian Mbappe, a connection Perez hopes to replicate at the Bernabeu. The proposed deal totals $254 million (€223 million), comprising $216.5 million upfront and $37.5 million in bonuses. This figure would surpass the 2017 record set by Neymar's transfer. Perez, recently re-elected, aims to make history again. While Bayern insists it's not a selling club, Olise would face minimal competition on Real's right wing under new coach Jose Mourinho. This move follows a perceived diversionary bid for Julian Alvarez, suggesting Olise is Real's true high-priority target.
