Real Madrid: 150M Mistake? Olise Will Not Solve Real Madrid's Problems

Real Madrid is facing one of the most pivotal institutional days in its recent history with the presidential elections scheduled for this Sunday, a scenario where Florentino Pérez aims to make a definitive impact by signing the galactic player Michael Olise.

The president of the Merengue squad seeks to secure his re-election by presenting a dream sports project that already has the official announcement of José Mourinho for the bench, in addition to the signings of Denzel Dumfries and Ibrahima Konaté to strengthen the defense. However, the intention to spend a significant amount on the French attacker has raised alarms among analysts, who question the suitability of prioritizing the offensive sector over the real needs in other areas of the field.

The folly of neglecting the midfield to sign Olise

The leak by Fabrizio Romano revealed Florentino Pérez's intentions to incorporate the French winger to build a formidable frontline alongside Vinícius, Jude Bellingham, and Kylian Mbappé. Although no one doubts that the French attacker has the qualities of a world-class player and would have the necessary football arguments to compete for a starting position at Real Madrid, spending the astronomical sum of 150 million euros on his signing represents an absolute folly.

Such an investment will severely compromise the financial maneuvering room of the Madrid institution, preventing the allocation of an equivalent amount for the profile that the first team truly needs urgently.

The alarming lack of substitutes for Luka Modric and Toni Kroos

The root of the footballing debacle experienced by Real Madrid over the last two seasons lies solely in the lack of foresight to replace the most dominant pair of midfielders in contemporary times.

Florentino Pérez erroneously relied on the qualities of Eduardo Camavinga, Aurélien Tchouaméni, or even Bellingham to fill that void, overlooking that none of them fit the profile of a pure playmaker needed for ball distribution. Fixating on adding more firepower in the final third without having a brain to control the match tempo is a colossal strategic mistake that will leave the Madrid side completely unbalanced in crucial European encounters.

The rush to steal the spotlight from the media and attract the club members ahead of the Sunday vote has clouded coherent sports planning at Chamartín. Piling up stellar attacking figures without addressing the alarming lack of fluidity in midfield play threatens to lead to a tactical collapse of monumental proportions in Mourinho's schemes.

The club must focus its main financial resources on recruiting a midfielder with associative criteria and game vision, rather than risking the budget on a winger whose compatibility with the current key players of the white shirt squad is a complete mystery.

The board of directors is heading towards a dangerous crossroads where political decisions from the offices seem to take precedence over the strictly sporting performance of the first team. The Santiago Bernabéu doesn't need more wing revamps, but tactical leaders who can restore order and clarity to the playmaking zone after the gradual loss of its historic key figures. If the operation is concluded under the leaked conditions, Real Madrid will seriously jeopardize its internal stability chasing an unnecessary media-driven impact that completely disregards the true weaknesses plaguing the Merengue squad.
