Claude Makelele recently disclosed that he held a discussion with Real Madrid President Florentino Perez concerning the potential acquisition of French talent Michael Olise. The retired midfielder emphasized that he explicitly recommended Olise to the club’s leadership.
During an interview with Marca, Makelele expressed his strong support for the move. He told Perez that if the club were restricted to a single transfer, Olise should be the primary choice. Highlighting the winger’s impact, Makelele described watching Olise as a revitalizing experience that captures the pure essence and joy of football through skill, freedom, and effectiveness. He noted that the team feels noticeably different whenever Olise is not playing.
While speculation has linked Olise to a transfer to Real Madrid this summer, it remains uncertain whether the club will secure the Bayern Munich player for the upcoming campaign under manager Jose Mourinho.
