Liverpool are reportedly set to sign Bayern Munich winger Michael Olise as part of their long-term plans on the right. He is seen internally as one of Mohamed Salah’s closest successors stylistically.
With Salah entering the latter stages of his prime and speculation continuing over his future, Anfield bosses are assessing an elite-level successor who can maintain an attacking threat over the next few seasons.
However, any approach to Olise is expected to face significant resistance, according to TEAMtalk.
Bayern Munich are said to have no intention of accepting the offer, and the player himself is reportedly settled in Germany.
Michael Oliseh attracts Liverpool’s attention
Liverpool have built much of their attacking identity around Salah’s productivity, creativity and reliability.
Replacing such output is not an easy task. However, Oliseh’s technical profile makes him an attractive candidate.
The former Crystal Palace star has pace, goal-scoring threat and the ability to create chances.
His left foot, composure in tight spaces and vision in the final third earned him praise across Europe.
The French winger has scored 10 goals and provided 25 assists in all Bundesliga competitions this season.
Bayern Munich are adamant about Olise’s future
Despite external interest, Bayern are reportedly preparing to start talks to improve Olise’s contract, even though his current contract runs until 2029.
The German champions see him as a key figure in their future attack plans.
Interest extends beyond the UK. Manchester City, Chelsea and Arsenal have all been linked, with European giants Real Madrid and Barcelona also said to be praising his profile.
The transfer will likely be worth over 100 million euros, reflecting both his contract length and elite potential.
Liverpool aren’t all focused on one goal. According to reports, they are also monitoring RB Leipzig winger Yann Diomande, Athletic Club star Nico Williams and Paris Saint-Germain duo Desiree Douet and Bradley Barcola.
