Liverpool hasn’t signed Michael Olise from Bayern Munich yet. However, the Reds are reportedly interested in signing the 23-year-old France international as a potential long-term replacement for Mohamed Salah. Olise has been impressive at Bayern Munich, scoring 24 goals and recording 23 assists across 59 games in all competitions since joining from Crystal Palace in 2024.

Why Liverpool Wants Olise:

– Long-term Replacement: Olise’s skills and versatility make him an attractive option to succeed Salah, who will turn 34 next year and has a contract running until 2027.

– *Tactical Fit:* Olise’s ability to operate as a winger, attacking midfielder, or in a free role fits perfectly with Arne Slot’s tactical system.

– *Potential Transfer Fee:* A deal could cost Liverpool around €100 million, but Bayern Munich might be willing to sell Olise next summer to cover the fee for Chelsea forward Nicolas Jackson.¹ ² ³

Current Status:

– *Monitoring Bayern’s Plans:* Liverpool’s recruitment team, led by sporting director Richard Hughes, will closely monitor Bayern’s transfer strategy and be ready to act if Olise becomes available.

– *Potential Sale:* Bayern Munich’s sporting director Max Eberl reportedly plans to sell one or two high-profile players, including Olise and Harry Kane, to generate funds for squad planning.⁴
