Liverpool are reportedly interested in signing Bayern Munich winger Michael Olise next summer.
The Reds could be looking for a long-term replacement for Mohamed Salah and have earmarked the former Crystal Palace winger as a potential option.
The Premier champions could face intense competition from rivals Chelsea and Manchester City, both of whom regret missing out on the French attacker.
Liverpool eyeing blockbuster move for Michael Olise?
Since moving from Crystal Palace last summer, Olise has enjoyed a terrific first season at the German club, scoring 20 goals and providing 23 assists in 55 games.
The German club paid around €53m to sign Olise, and his value has skyrocketed to €100m (£87m), a sum that only top clubs in the world can afford.
According to a report from the Bild, Liverpool would be willing to spend big on Olise next summer, and they have kept him on the future transfer wish list.
At some point, the Reds would need to find a solution to replace Salah, and Olise could be a perfect fit. He has been sensational this season, scoring four goals and providing four assists in all competitions, and he dazzled against Pafos in the Champions League in midweek.
Olise made it to the final 30 in the Ballon d’Or nominations, and we believe that he has the potential to win this prestigious award in the future.
Chelsea have a wealth of attacking options, but the Blues are constantly on the lookout for fresh talent, and they could be tempted to make a move for Olise.
What are Bayern planning to do with Olise
The report claims that Bayern are working on a new contract for Olise to fend off the interest from Premier League heavyweights permanently.
Olise has a contract at the Allianz Arena until 2029, and he does not have a release clause in his contract. The Frenchman earns around €12 million plus bonuses annually, and he is not among the highest earners at the club.
Bayern, therefore, have room for negotiations to present him a lucrative contract. The Bavarian giants are planning to secure his long-term future with a significant salary increase and a contract extension until 2031.
