Overview
- Multiple reports say Liverpool have identified Michael Olise as a priority option to succeed Mohamed Salah and are prepared to offer more than €100 million.
- Fichajes, relayed by several outlets, claims Bayern would seek around €150 million and have explored tying Olise down on a new contract potentially running to 2031.
- Bayern sporting director Christoph Freund told Sky90 they feel no pressure and can envision Olise remaining for seven to nine more years, reinforcing the club’s retention stance.
- Olise is under contract until 2029 and has started the season strongly, with five goals and six assists in ten matches in all competitions, bolstering his valuation.
- Given Liverpool’s heavy summer outlay, some coverage flags cheaper alternatives such as Bournemouth’s Antoine Semenyo if a deal for Olise proves prohibitive.
