Michael Olise, currently a key player for Bayern Munich, has emerged as a significant transfer target for Liverpool as a potential replacement for Mohamed Salah.
Following a busy summer for Liverpool's forward line, which included the arrivals of Hugo Ekitike and an ongoing pursuit of Newcastle striker Alexander Isak, the club reportedly eyes Olise to strengthen their attack. This interest comes as Bayern Munich has allowed Luis Diaz to join their ranks, and Liverpool might be seeking to respond by acquiring a star from Bayern themselves.
Both Liverpool and Manchester City have shown strong interest in Olise, with Chelsea also monitoring the situation depending on their sporting progress. It has been speculated that Olise has a release clause in his Bayern contract, which could become active in summer, potentially facilitating a transfer. Liverpool and City are thought to be his preferred destinations if this clause is triggered. However, the existence of such a release clause has been denied by Bayern Munich, who insist they will not accept any offers at present.
In terms of valuation, Transfermarkt estimates Olise's market value at around €100 million (£86.4 million), although experts suggest this is conservative. Comparisons to other high-profile transfers imply his value could well exceed £100 million, underscoring Bayern’s intent to retain him as a crucial player for their ambitions.
Adding to the competition, Paris Saint-Germain is also reportedly interested in Olise, further intensifying the potential transfer battle.
In summary, Michael Olise is viewed as a dream target for Liverpool amid ambitions to reinforce their squad post-Salah, but Bayern remains firm on keeping the player, and any transfer, if it happens, will involve a significant fee and competition from other top clubs.
