With Mohamed Salah’s long-term future at Liverpool increasingly uncertain, the club have reportedly turned their attention to Michael Olise in what would be one of the most ambitious transfer moves of the summer.
According to German outlet Bild, LIVERPOOL are closely monitoring the winger’s situation at Bayern Munich as they prepare for the possibility of major changes in their attacking department.
Salah, whose contract is set to enter its few months, has been heavily linked with a move to the Saudi Pro League, and Liverpool’s hierarchy are bracing for an offer that may be too sizeable to reject. Although the Egyptian remains at the centre of the team’s frontline, uncertainty around his future has forced the club to consider alternatives.
Olise has impressed during his time at the Germans, but Bild reports that Bayern may be open to discussions if a substantial offer arrives, though the German champions still value him highly and see him as part of their long-term vision.
For LIVERPOOL, Olise’s profile fits the characteristics of a modern Arne Slot wide attacker — explosive, technically refined, left-footed, and capable of playing both as a creator and a goalscoring threat. His Premier League experience prior to moving to Germany would also reduce the adaptation period typically expected of new signings.
Anfield has been a welcoming stage for young, dynamic attackers in recent years, and Liverpool see Olise as a player capable of growing into a marquee role should Salah depart. At 24, he also fits the club’s long-term recruitment strategy, which has increasingly focused on players who can peak over the next several seasons.
Financially, any transfer would likely require a significant outlay. Bayern invested heavily in Olise, and the winger has four years remaining on his contract. Liverpool, however, are expected to have considerable flexibility if they cash in on Salah, creating the possibility of reinvesting part of the fee in a ready-made successor.
Would a move to Liverpool be the right switch for Olise?
From a footballing standpoint, the move could be highly beneficial for the French-born winger. Liverpool’s system prioritises wide attackers who drift inside, dictate tempo, and decide matches in the final third — qualities Olise possesses in abundance.
He would also be joining a team in transition but still highly competitive, providing him with both playing opportunities and a platform to elevate his status across Europe.
Replacing Salah — one of *LIVERPOOL*’s all-time greats — is a task few players could approach without scrutiny. Olise would need time, patience, and the full backing of the club’s fanbase to grow into such a role.
Olise could thrive in Liverpool’s environment, and the club could secure a long-term attacking cornerstone. With Salah’s situation unresolved, the coming months may determine whether this bold pursuit becomes one of the summer’s defining transfer stories.
