Florentino Pérez jokingly tells Hainer: In the end you'll have to sell Olise to me

[Hupu Football News] — July 2nd. Spanish Six TV program host Pedrerol has exclusively revealed that Real Madrid president Florentino Pérez publicly joked with Bayern Munich president Herbert Hainer about the signing of Michael Olise during the 20th graduation ceremony of the Royal Madrid European University College.

According to the report, Hainer attended the ceremony as the sponsor for this year's graduates. The event was held at the Bernabéu Stadium, with a total of 1,775 students graduating.

The Exchange

Pedrerol reenacted the scene on his program:

• A young man passed by and shouted, "Olise, Olise to Real Madrid, Olise to Real Madrid."
• Florentino reacted quickly, pointing at the young man and saying, "You know football."
• After a moment's thought, Florentino turned to Hainer and said: "Herbert, did you hear what was said about Olise? In the end, you'll have to sell him to me."

Pedrerol's Interpretation

Pedrerol claimed this was exclusive content he had obtained. He added that Florentino's meaning at the time was:

"This is pressure... you realize that, right? What they just said. 'In the end, you'll have to sell him to me.'"

The atmosphere on-site was pleasant, but currently, Real Madrid believes that Bayern is almost unlikely to sell Olise.

Program Discussion

A program guest pressed further:

"So, actions like this aren't enough to start the 'countdown'? Bringing him there, showing him the 360-degree view of the Bernabéu—that's not enough?"

Pedrerol responded that, regardless, the message and joke delivered at the time were as described. Real Madrid is willing to push this deal forward, but at least for now, Bayern is not willing to sell Olise.
