For years Liverpool’s recruitment team have quietly profiled elite right‑sided forwards who could realistically take on the “Salah role”, and Olise has consistently emerged near the top of their lists thanks to his left foot, chance creation and output in the final third. Now that Salah has publicly announced his goodbye, and Liverpool have confirmed his nine‑year spell will officially end in June 2026, every winger linked with the club is going to be framed as his replacement – and that spotlight will inevitably shine brightest on Olise.

Now Bayern Munich sporting director Max Eberl has asserted that the German champions are not even thinking about a transfer for Olise, and that his contract runs until 2029 without a release clause: “We don’t waste any thought on that,” said Eberl “He’s an FC Bayern player and has all the opportunities here that top players want.” “Michael has a contract with us until 2029, without a release clause – we are relaxed.” Meanwhile, CEO Jan-Christian Dreesen said: “Anyone who plays for FC Bayern knows what he has at FC Bayern.” In the short term, Liverpool may have to accept that Olise is one that got away, at least while Bayern remain so adamant and the finances look unworkable from the Reds’ side.
