Liverpool are likely to remain on the lookout for a big-money signing to put on the right of their attack in 2027.The Reds attempted to bring in a new right forward to replace Mohamed Salah during this year’s summer transfer window, but having missed out on Yan Diomande to Real Madrid, it was clear that they did not have an exact plan on who to go for next.In terms of a marquee addition, Michael Olise would be the obvious player to target in a year’s time. The Frenchman is facing an uncertain future at Bayern Munich, and despite plenty of noise over a potential move to Real Madrid, he would also make sense as a signing for Liverpool.
