The Liverpool boardroom's succession planning looks to be continuing with reports suggesting they're eyeing Bayern Munich's Michael Olise as a potential successor to Mohamed Salah.

After a three-season spell at Crystal Palace, where he netted 16 goals and provided 25 assists, Olise made the move to Bayern in July 2024 for an initial $60million.

The Reds purchased Ryan Gravenberch from the Bundesliga team in 2023, and three years prior to that, they signed Thiago Alcantara from them as well.

Before those deals, Liverpool also snapped up Markus Babbel and Alou Diarra from the German outfit in 2000 and 2002 respectively.

Michael Olise joined Bayern Munich in the summer of 2024.

The Egyptian star netted 34 goals last season whilst helping deliver the Reds' 20th top-flight crown and claimed the PFA Players' Player of the Year award, becoming the first footballer in history to secure the honour three times, having previously claimed it in 2018 and 2022.

However, Olise, who has begun this season with three goals in two games for Bayern and boasts 24 goals and 23 assists during his stint in Germany, could be a promising candidate to take up the Egyptian's mantle.
