Michael Olise is said to be attracting admiring glances from Real Madrid, with the Blancos reportedly prepared to pay a world record transfer fee of €223 million (£191m/$255m) for the Bayern Munich winger. Is he, or anybody, worth that kind of money? Former France international Louis Saha has endeavoured to answer that question for GOAL, with some “crazy numbers” flying around.

Real Madrid have moved swiftly to shut down mounting speculation linking them with a sensational summer move for Chelsea midfielder Enzo Fernandez. The Spanish giants issued a firm public statement to distance themselves from the Argentine World Cup winner, despite recent comments from the player's representative hinting at a Stamford Bridge exit.

France legend Marcel Desailly believes William Saliba's rise to becoming the "best defender in the world" at Arsenal makes a future move to Real Madrid inevitable. The former Chelsea star insists "the door is open" for Saliba to join the Spanish giants, and has ranked him above Gunners team-mate Gabriel in terms of overall quality.

Enzo Fernandez's representative, Javier Pastore, has admitted the Chelsea midfielder's camp is exploring a move away from Stamford Bridge. While no deal is in place, the Argentine also addressed the player's links with Real Madrid and insisted the player remains fully focused on the 2026 World Cup.
