Real Madrid clarify stance on Rodri and Olise transfers

Real Madrid have definitively addressed the growing speculation surrounding their interest in two high-profile targets. The club has confirmed that Manchester City midfielder Rodri and Bayern Munich winger Michael Olise do not feature in their plans for the current summer transfer window.

According to reports from The Athletic, sources within the club have stated that despite Rodri's standout performance at the 2026 World Cup, where he was named the tournament's best player, he is not a target for the Spanish giants. While some board members reportedly pushed for the club to reconsider, the hierarchy remains firm in its position.

The situation regarding Michael Olise is equally conclusive. Real Madrid have issued denials regarding any negotiations with the German club and have reiterated that a move for the France winger is not considered achievable at this stage.

The club is currently focused on executing the project under Jose Mourinho, who is looking to strengthen his squad with a defender and an additional midfielder. However, the hierarchy believes the bulk of their business is already complete and is now prioritizing offloading players rather than securing new high-profile additions.
