Michael Olise, the 23-year-old attacking sensation currently at Bayern Munich, is reported to have a £100 million asking price as Liverpool lead the race to sign him. After impressing at Crystal Palace, Olise moved to Bayern for around £50.8 million in 2024 and quickly established himself as a key player, scoring 20 goals and providing 23 assists in 55 appearances during his debut season.
Despite his contract with Bayern running until 2029, several top European clubs, including Liverpool, are interested in acquiring him. Liverpool sees Olise as a potential long-term replacement for Mohamed Salah, who could be phased out around summer 2026 despite his contract extension through 2027. The club is also planning successors for other key players, indicating a strategic shift for the 2026/27 season.
Olise earns around £225,000 per week at Bayern, which places him just below Liverpool's top earners. The German club is keen to keep him and reportedly will demand a high fee to let him go. Reports indicate that Olise himself might be interested in a return to the Premier League, which strengthens Liverpool’s position as the front-runners.
Bayern's intention to potentially offer Olise an improved contract demonstrates their desire to retain him, but Liverpool’s interest remains strong. Clubs like Manchester City also monitor the situation, though Liverpool are currently seen as the most likely destination should Bayern decide to sell.
In summary, Liverpool is keen on signing Michael Olise as a successor to Mohamed Salah, but must be prepared to meet Bayern Munich's demanding £100 million valuation for the French international, whose contract runs until 2029 and who has performed exceptionally well in his debut Bundesliga season.
