Liverpool has already begun working on a long-term replacement for Mohamed Salah, who will turn 34 in the summer and only has a contract until 2027. The club has set its sights on young Bayern Munich winger Michael Olise to gradually take over Salah’s role in the Reds’ offense.
Michael Olise, a 23-year-old French international, joined Bayern Munich from Crystal Palace a year ago. He had a phenomenal season last year, contributing directly to 34 goals (goals + assists) in 48 games in the Bundesliga and Champions League.
One of the key conditions for the transfer is a release clause in his contract, which can be activated in 2026. According to German media, Manchester City and PSG are also considering him, which means that the competition will be fierce. Olise brings not only an excellent left foot to the attack, but also versatility—he can play on both wings. His passes into the box and ability to shoot from distance fit into Arne Slot’s system, which requires shooting accuracy and creativity in the final stages of the attack.
The question remains as to Bayern’s stance—according to CF Bayern Insider, there is no sale clause in the contract, and the club does not plan to accept offers before the summer of 2026. Liverpool will therefore have to patiently monitor developments and prepare for a massive investment that would definitively mark a new era of offense at Anfield.
