Liverpool are reportedly keeping close tabs on Michael Olise. The French winger is frequently discussed as a potential long-term successor to Mohamed Salah, whose current deal runs until 2027.
Several sources claim Olise could become a serious target for Liverpool next summer.
There are also whispers that the Reds might be prepared to spend big. Bayern Munich are said to value him at around £100 million, should they ever consider letting him go.
🛑 Why the situation is complicated
- Bayern Munich appear determined to keep hold of Olise and are believed to be working on a contract extension beyond 2029 — a strong signal they don’t want to sell.
- His price tag is extremely high, making the transfer difficult even for a club with Liverpool’s financial power.
- Conflicting reports about a possible release clause — including whether it exists or when it activates — add even more uncertainty.
📅 Most realistic timeline
The most plausible outcome is that a move wouldn’t happen until 2026 or later. Some reports suggest that a clause or negotiation window may only become relevant around that time.
If Liverpool do make a move, it would likely require a massive fee (potentially £100m+). That kind of investment points toward a long-term successor to Salah — not a quick short-term signing.
🔮 My verdict: Will Olise join Liverpool?
There’s definitely a chance, but nothing close to guaranteed. Olise fits Liverpool’s long-term needs perfectly and the interest is genuine — but Bayern’s stance, the huge fee, and the contract situation make it a difficult deal.
If you forced me to predict: 2026–2027 feels like the most realistic window for Liverpool to land him, especially if Salah moves on or if the club decides they need a new long-term right-sided attacker.
