Liverpool Eye Michael Olise as Long-Term Successor to Salah
Liverpool may have secured Mohamed Salah’s future with a new contract, but the club is already preparing for life after their iconic forward. According to Lewis Steele of The Daily Mail, the Reds are closely monitoring Bayern Munich’s Michael Olise as a potential long-term replacement.
Olise’s Rise in Germany
Since his move from Crystal Palace to the Bundesliga, Olise has quickly established himself as one of Europe’s most exciting young attackers. Last season, the 23-year-old Frenchman was involved in 43 goals across all competitions, showcasing the creativity, versatility, and end product that make him a top candidate to eventually fill Salah’s boots at Anfield.
A Future Move?
While any deal in January appears unlikely, Liverpool could make a formal approach in the summer transfer window, depending on Bayern Munich’s stance. With the German champions reluctant to lose such a valuable asset mid-season, patience may be required if Liverpool want to land their man.
Planning Beyond Salah
At 32, Salah remains a talisman for Liverpool, but the club is mindful of the need for forward planning to remain competitive at the top level. Olise’s potential return to the Premier League could prove tempting, particularly with Liverpool offering the chance to compete regularly for major trophies on the global stage.
For now, Salah continues to lead the line in red — but the succession plan is already in motion, and Olise sits firmly on Liverpool’s radar as the heir to the Egyptian King.
