FSG are currently dreaming of signing a £150m superstar

Whatever happens at the end of the season at Liverpool, we will enjoy a sharper version of Alexander Isak at Anfield following the break. It’s been a pretty tough year for record signings in the UK, so that’s the hope anyway.

In Isaac we see a microcosm of the wider disease across Merseyside. Liverpool have not only fallen from glory, they have been smashed to the turf and scarred by an inexplicable drop under Arne Slott.

There are mitigating circumstances and understandable variables at play in what has been a disappointing year, but a fragile underbelly, wasteful spending in the final third and inability to do the basics is what bothers bosses.

Isak has had limited minutes throughout the season due to injury absences and a lack of the superstar power that defined his time at Newcastle United, but he has returned to form and could make a difference in the final weeks of the season.

He will be needed again next season, but with the Reds set to lose Mohamed Salah on a free transfer, they will really need another elite forward.

Liverpool plan to appoint Alexander Isak to replace Salah

Salah, 33, will leave Liverpool this summer, taking all his goals and ability in the final third with him. Issac and Hugo Ekitike’s duel signings last summer were intended to aid succession planning, but it’s fair to say that nothing has quite come together.

Isak scored 54 goals in the Premier League over three seasons with Newcastle, but just two for Liverpool. Slott is confident that his amulet will come back to life one day, but it will probably need some help.

Although a distant hope, Bayern Munich’s Michael Olise remains Liverpool’s dream target to replace Salah on the right-wing, and Football Insider confirms FSG have their sights set on the Frenchman.

Olise, 23, is arguably the best attacker on the planet this season and Bayern know it, but they are said to be relaxed about the prolific star’s future, with a staggering £150m price tag attached to his head.

Still, Olise has become the center of attention for the Anfield side, who recognize that they are a must-have replacement for Salah and would command a big fee if they could bring him back to the Premier League.

Why Michael Oliseh could be Liverpool’s new Alexander Isak

Oliseh’s qualifications as one of the best players in the world are undisputed. The France international attacker is one of the best players in the business and is widely seen as a strong candidate for the Ballon d’Or at the end of the year.

If Bayern Munich wins the Champions League, it will surely solidify their position.

This season, Oliseh has recorded 17 goals and 29 assists in all competitions. That’s nonsense, and the spread of his work between the domestic and European fronts only emphasizes the fact that he’s on the verge of superstardom.

Take his performance at the Bernabéu last week, for example. Die Roten achieved a rare and valuable victory, and he was right at the center of it. Although Olise recorded an assist, he won 10 duels and danced past his opponent throughout the match.

It may seem foolish to say he could become Liverpool’s new Isak if he signs, but the truth is that few expected him to join Anfield by August 2025.

FSG fought tenaciously to sign the best players in the business. Olise could perhaps be struck twice here, as he has achieved success in the Premier League following his efforts at Crystal Palace and, more importantly, has now established himself as one of the best players in the world.

His unparalleled creativity will see him serve Isak again and again in a Liverpool shirt, but more importantly, he will become a replica of the club’s deal to sign one of the world’s best strikers, defying the odds of a deal going through.

After such an intense campaign, it is the right move for Liverpool to sign a player who can remind the world of their quality and help them regain their place.

Word on the street is that Oliseh’s signing won’t be achieved this summer, but the same was said about Isak last year, and while the Swedish striker still has a lot to prove at Anfield, FSG’s ability to pull rabbits out of hats could be on display once again in the coming months.
