Liverpool are believed to have made contact with Bayern Munich winger Michael Olise over a summer move to the club, but Manchester United are also keen. Olise is a player who has been mentioned as a top-quality option for Liverpool for months now, having developed into arguably a world-class attacking player at Bayern since his move from Crystal Palace.

Is Michael Olise a perfect summer option for Liverpool? He can score, set up, and even defend.” This season, he already has an incredible 26 goal contributions in the Bundesliga – 10 goals and 16 assists – and he will be hoping to play a starring role for France at the 2026 World Cup this summer.

Olise feels tailor-made to be Salah’s successor at Liverpool, lighting up games with his brilliance on the right wing, cutting onto his left foot and linking superbly with those around him. Bayern will understandably want to keep hold of one of their influential players, but the hope is that Olise likes the idea of a move to Liverpool, allowing them to pip United to his signature in the process.
