FC Bayern have made their position clear – but Liverpool FC are clearly not interested, as the Reds continue their pursuit of Michael Olise
The Munich attacking star is at the top of the English club’s wish list due to the looming gap that superstar Mohamed Salah could leave behind after the 2025/26 season. Liverpool are already searching intensively for a suitable successor – and have identified Olise as their preferred solution
As transfer insider Mark Brus reports on Caught Offside, those responsible at Liverpool are working flat out on a potential transfer
„Liverpool are working overtime to get a star new signing to replace Salah,“ explained Brus, adding that Olise is the player the Reds „would love to get“
Bayern remain tough – Liverpool nevertheless optimistic
What is explosive is that FC Bayern’s clear stance apparently only plays a subordinate role in the English club’s plans, with Säbener Straße having recently emphasized on several occasions that they do not want to deal with the sale of the Frenchman
Nevertheless, Liverpool still believe in his chances, according to the report. „Although there is no indication from Bayern that they are open to offers, Liverpool feel they may be able to lure the player back to the Premier League,“ said Brus
Record transfer fee needed for Olise
Should concrete negotiations actually take place, however, the price is likely to be astronomical. According to the insider, Liverpool would have to put a „crazy amount“ on the table to even make Bayern think twice
Whether the Reds are prepared to do this remains to be seen. The club already invested around 500 million euros in new players last summer. Another mega-transfer would probably only be possible with corresponding sales
One thing is clear: FC Bayern are firmly planning with Olise, but the courtship from England is becoming more and more concrete – and is likely to continue to accompany Munich in the coming weeks.
