The winger is contracted to Bayern until 2029, having joined from Crystal Palace in 2024 for a reported £51million, yet Pennant is adamant his former club should make a bold move.Having watched Olise net a stunning strike against PSG, Pennant took to social media to declare: "Liverpool go out and get Olise right now, at all costs.

The Dutchman still has four years remaining on his contract at Anfield.It is safe to say that Pennant's bold claim failed to resonate with many, with numerous responses questioning why Olise would contemplate swapping Bayern for Liverpool at present, particularly given the German giants have romped to the Bundesliga title and remain in contention for a treble.Jermaine Pennant says Liverpool should offload Cody Gakpo (Image: Getty)Bayern are equally reluctant to part with one of their prized assets.
