Michael Olise is one of those names that just won’t go away around Liverpool, even if a move now feels more like a dream than a realistic target.
The Bayern Munich winger has long been admired at Anfield, repeatedly mentioned as a potential heir to Mohamed Salah and even linked with nine‑figure bids in the past, but the reality in 2026 is that Liverpool know how hard it would be to coax him out of Bavaria.
Bayern consider Olise virtually untouchable which is why Liverpool’s interest has cooled and shifted towards options like Yan Diomande.
That hasn’t stopped the wider European noise around Olise, particularly from Spain. Real Madrid have been consistently mentioned as a possible future destination.
Now, Spanish AS report that the next key chapter in Olise’s story will take place in Munich, once his World Cup campaign is over.
The outlet says Bayern are preparing a face‑to‑face meeting with the player and his representatives after the tournament to clarify his future and discuss their long‑term project around him.
It is claimed Bayern is determined to ward off suitors by outlining a pathway that keeps Olise as one of the focal points of their attack, potentially including improved terms
AS stress that this summit is not about listening to offers, but about closing ranks and ensuring their star man feels valued and committed, which only underlines why Liverpool – and perhaps even Real Madrid – currently see him as an almost impossible signing.
José Félix Díaz reports:
“Olise wants to clear up any doubts, to know what Munich think of his situation, to know first-hand how Bayern consider him after two seasons defending his shirt and proving to be at the level of the best players in the world. He is aware that there are several clubs waiting for him, of what he can do after the World Cup.”
“At the Bavarian club, they already know that Olise wants to talk to them and they begin to suspect that he is being seduced by everything that has been heard in recent weeks. They have looked for a gesture in the player who, for the moment, has not appeared, which makes them doubt and a lot.”
“As soon as the World Cup curtain falls, there will be news.”
Michael Olise registered 15 goals and 19 assists in just 32 Bundesliga games in 2025/26.
