Liverpool are targeting Michael Olise as a long-term replacement for Mohamed Salah when the Egyptian star eventually departs the club. Salah’s current contract runs until the end of next season, prompting Liverpool to prepare for their next top attacking talent[1].
Olise, 23, recently transferred from Crystal Palace to Bundesliga champions Bayern Munich for around £50.8 million. He impressed last season with 20 goals and 23 assists in 50 appearances, and he has started this campaign strongly by scoring four goals in four matches[1][2]. Liverpool view him as an ideal successor to Salah due to his Premier League experience, cerebral playing style, consistency, and ability to integrate quickly into English football[1].
The Reds have been tracking Olise’s progress carefully, and he is believed to be high on their shopping list for the next summer or the one after. Liverpool journalist Lewis Steele commented that the club cannot currently reveal much but confirmed Olise as a standout potential target[1][2].
However, Liverpool face challenges in acquiring Olise from Bayern Munich. The Bundesliga champions value the winger highly and are likely to offer him a lucrative new contract to keep him, which could complicate Liverpool’s pursuit. Bayern are known for being tough negotiators, so Liverpool would need to act decisively and prepare for a competitive transfer battle to secure Olise’s signature[1].
In summary, Michael Olise is Liverpool’s prime candidate to fill the void as Mohamed Salah’s successor, offering an exciting blend of talent, experience, and proven performance, but the transfer will require strategic planning and strong negotiation efforts to succeed[1][2][3][4][5].
