The Reds fell to a third consecutive defeat at Chelsea on Saturday, and now Arne Slot's side finds itself a point behind Arsenal in the race for this season's Premier League title - albeit, there is still a long way to go, with only seven games having been played so far. The Reds already broke it twice during the 2025 summer window with Florian Wirtz and then Alexander Isak, but it’s claimed they’re willing to do it all over again for the Bayern Munich star.

It’s suggested that Liverpool is willing to offer close to $176 million (€150M) for Olise next summer, with the club eyeing up a long-term replacement for Mohamed Salah.
