Michael Olise's stock has risen massively over the last couple of years at Bayern Munich, but the German club may have its hand forced as interest from Europe's other elite sides lingersMichael Olise in action for France at the World Cup(Image: Getty Images)Michael Olise’s first World Cup might not have ended in the manner he or France had hoped, but there’s no denying that his reputation has been enhanced even further.The winger didn’t hit his usual mark as Didier Deschamps’ side meekly limped out at the semi-final stage against a hugely impressive Spain side, who now awaits one of England or Argentina in Sunday’s showpiece final.But while Olise struggled on Tuesday, that has certainly not been the story for him over the past two years, with the 24-year-old hitting new heights after joining Bayern Munich from Crystal Palace - and the move to Germany may not be his last.Olise’s outstanding performances in Bavaria have caught the attention of the other big guns in Europe, and it shouldn’t be any surprise to see both Paris Saint-Germain and Real Madrid linked.Liverpool has also been touted as a possible destination for a while now. Of course, even the most optimistic supporter wouldn’t back him to make the move to Anfield right now, but with the Reds still seeking a Mohamed Salah replacement, Olise would be the dream option if he became available.That is a big if, although reports in France suggest it might not be out of the question for Olise to be on the move at some stage.Michael Olise doesn't look to be going anywhere(Image: Getty Images)RMC Sport reports on the winger’s current situation, noting the interest from PSG and Real Madrid.

Bayern is said to be planning on talks to extend his contract beyond its current expiration date in 2029 now that his involvement at the World Cup is coming to an end - although France was knocked out in the semi-finals, it will still have to play in the third-place play-off on Saturday.Get Liverpool's new 2026/27 home kitThis article contains affiliate links, we will receive a commission on any sales we generate from it.

He would be the dream option to replace Salah, but convincing Bayern to sell to the Reds would be hard enough without PSG and Real lurking in the background.Olise’s future will be a major talking point for some time, and no doubt Reds fans will keep a close eye on the situation, although it’ll probably be more out of hope than expectation.
