FC Bayern can apparently breathe a sigh of relief in their pursuit of Michael Olise. Liverpool FC have adjusted their transfer strategy and come to terms with the fact that signing the French winger is hardly feasible. Instead, the Reds are now focusing on another attacking player from the Bundesliga
In recent weeks, Olise has been seen as the preferred option at Anfield Road to replace Mohamed Salah. The Egyptian superstar is expected to leave Liverpool in the summer, which is why those responsible are intensively searching for a suitable replacement
However, a transfer of the Bayern player currently seems virtually impossible. According to several reports, FC Bayern have no interest in selling Olise and internally consider the attacking player to be unsellable. Olise himself has also ruled out a premature departure in the summer
Bayern remain firm on Olise
At Säbener Straße, the French international plays a central role in the plans for the coming years. Since his move to Munich, Olise has quickly developed into an important part of the attack
The winger is a regular source of danger, especially when playing alongside Harry Kane and Luis Diaz, so it is hardly surprising that Bayern have categorically ruled out selling him
Liverpool have apparently accepted this clear stance and adjusted their transfer plans accordingly
Diomande moves into focus
As the portal Fichajes reports, the Reds are now increasingly turning their attention to Yan Diomande from RB Leipzig. The 19-year-old attacking player from the Ivory Coast is one of the most exciting young talents in the Bundesliga. Sky also recently reported that Diomande is the Reds‘ new top transfer target
Liverpool have reportedly been keeping a close eye on the winger for several weeks, with the Premier League club’s scouts convinced that Diomande has the potential to develop into one of the best players in his position in the long term
However, a potential transfer is likely to be anything but easy, with RB Leipzig reportedly demanding around 100 million euros for the attacking player
FC Bayern are also said to be interested in Diomande, with the youngster the ideal solution for the vacant position on the left wing as a backup for Luis Diaz. However, the reported transfer fee makes a move to the Isar difficult to realize.
