According to Romano, there are new developments in the transfer dynamics of Real Madrid, Bayern, Paris Saint-Germain, and Leao.
Romano stated that the past week belonged to Real Madrid. Today, club presidential elections are taking place, and Marca reports that Florentino Pérez is a strong candidate to become Real Madrid's new president. Don't forget what will happen if Florentino Pérez wins the election and becomes Real Madrid's new president: Mourinho will become Real Madrid's new coach starting tomorrow; Ibrahima Konaté will become Real Madrid's new center-back with a 4-year contract; Denzel Dumfries will join for €20 million, becoming Real Madrid's new right-back. These aspects are almost all ready.
Subsequently, Florentino Pérez plans to try and bid €150 million to Bayern for Michael Olise. This is still Real Madrid's plan, and this week will clearly be very important.
Romano stated that Florentino Pérez said on Tuesday that he would make a formal offer. Bayern has not even responded publicly yet, and there have been no official statements in the two or three days since. Of course, this is still media-level news, and there has been no official offer, so Bayern has not officially responded. But when people close to Bayern were asked about Olise's situation, they still maintained Hoeneß's previous statement: they do not want to sell the player. Hoeneß said in May that Bayern does not want to sell Olise, even if the offer reaches €200 million, there is no chance. But Real Madrid still wants to try, hoping to test whether this statement still holds true when a huge offer is on the table.
France coach Deschamps also commented on Olise's situation. Deschamps said: "There is no right or wrong decision. He knows what he has to do and what he wants to do, and I believe he is very clear." This matter needs to continue to be closely monitored, as it clearly concerns the future of Olise, Bayern, Real Madrid, and Florentino Pérez, involving multiple factors.
Romano also stated that when Florentino Pérez went on TV and said "I'm going to offer €150 million," the media industry obviously began to try to determine who Real Madrid wanted. Whether it was journalists, fans, or people in the football world, the names João Neves and Vitinha quickly came to mind, because they are both excellent players, also Champions League winners, and still very young. João Neves is even younger, and Vitinha is still young.
Romano said that after very thorough verification today, he can confirm that the message Paris Saint-Germain has conveyed to any club, any possibility, any media, any offer is very clear: João Neves and Vitinha are not for sale, they are non-negotiable. Paris Saint-Germain does not want to disrupt this team that has won the Champions League twice in a row. Paris Saint-Germain wants to challenge for a third consecutive Champions League title with the same core players.
Nasser Al-Khelaifi fully believes that under the leadership of sporting director Luís Campos and head coach Enrique, Paris Saint-Germain can achieve something special again, and the entire team's direction is very clear. Therefore, the message from Paris is that João Neves and Vitinha are not for sale, and Real Madrid or any other club has no chance. This is Paris Saint-Germain's stance. They do not want to set a price, do not want to make a demand, and do not want to open negotiations. Paris Saint-Germain's attitude towards these two excellent players is very strong.
Regarding Real Madrid, Romano also added that Endrick scored in a Brazil match, and Carlo Ancelotti, on the bench, blew him a kiss. The feeling around Endrick is very positive at the moment. Mourinho is looking forward to working with Endrick, and he is waiting for Endrick to return from the World Cup.
Real Madrid and Mourinho will obviously both support Endrick. Mourinho is very interested in the opportunity to work with Endrick, who can play as a center-forward and also on the wing when necessary. Internally at Real Madrid, there is a lot of trust in this player.
Before Endrick left to prepare for the World Cup, the message Real Madrid conveyed to him and his entourage was very clear: you will be an important player, you will be part of the team's squad next season, and you will play an important role. Therefore, Real Madrid's message to Endrick is very supportive and optimistic.
Romano stated that he understands Mourinho is also very much looking forward to working with such a promising young talent as Endrick. Next season, Endrick playing for Real Madrid under Mourinho will be one of the stories to watch. After being loaned to Lyon, he chose to commit 6 months to see what would happen next season, and he was also selected for the World Cup squad, which was not easy. Romano also mentioned that players like João Pedro Rostoli, who performed well at Chelsea, were not selected, while Endrick will participate in the World Cup, so his choice was correct. Now he will return to Real Madrid.
Regarding Bayern, Romano stated that Bayern hopes to finalize the Ismael Saibari deal next week. Negotiations are very advanced, in the final stages, and Bayern still needs to complete some finishing touches with PSV, while an agreement has been reached with the player. This was Romano's exclusive news a week ago. Next week, after agreeing with the player, Bayern is also optimistic that they can finalize the Saibari deal at the club level.
Bayern is also advancing the deal to sign Nathaniel Brown from Eintracht Frankfurt, to make him the team's new full-back. In this deal, Bayern is also optimistic about reaching an agreement with the player, and is also communicating with Eintracht Frankfurt. Bayern is therefore optimistic.
Finally, Romano discussed Portuguese winger, AC Milan winger Rafael Leão. Leão stated in another interview: "I want to leave, I want to go." Leão then said: "I believe I can play better and unleash my full potential in a league like the Premier League or La Liga."
The feeling of Leão himself and those around him is that the Premier League would be his absolute dream destination and the most ideal destination. In recent weeks, he has received calls from Turkish clubs, but Leão wants to wait. He believes the World Cup may open new doors for him. He believes his chapter at Milan has ended. Compared to La Liga, he dreams more of going to the Premier League.
In a recent interview, Leão mentioned Manchester United. A few years ago, he mentioned Arsenal. Next, we need to see which club and which opportunities are most ideal for Leão. Currently, Romano can confirm that there has been no significant progress between Leão and any Premier League club. The World Cup will be important to see how Leão responds after a difficult season.
Leão stated that he had many injuries before, and Milan's system did not help him. This season, Milan has used a double-striker system more, rather than wingers, so Leão believes the problems are both tactical and injury-related. Now that the World Cup is approaching, his priority dream is the Premier League, with La Liga as the second choice. Next, we need to see what happens, as there are no offers or official actions yet.
