Liverpool are disappointed! Bayern moves quickly to secure prospective replacement Mohamed Salah

Gilabola.com -Liverpool are facing a large transfer blow after Bayern Munich is reportedly ready to move quickly to extend Michael Olise’s contract, a young French winger who is said to be the successor candidate Mohamed Salah at Anfield.

Bayern Munich wants to renew Michael Olise’s contract

Olise had just joined Bayern in the summer of 2024 after being redeemed from Crystal Palace for Rp1 trillion (£ 50 million). Only in a season, he immediately performed brilliantly by recording 43 goals from 55 matches and helped Bayern reclaim the Bundesliga title from Bayer Leverkusen.

Olise’s own contract is actually still valid until June 2029

Liverpool and other giant clubs are after Olise

Liverpool’s interest in Olise is not new. Daily Mail said, the Reds saw him as a strong candidate to substitute Salah who will be 34 years old next year. However, Liverpool are not alone in this hunt.

Since still defending Crystal Palace, Olise has attracted many big clubs. Bayern, Chelsea, until Newcastle United had approached him. In fact, Chelsea had activated the release clause of Rp700 billion (£ 35 million) in 2023, but Olise chose to stay at Palace at that time.

Now, despite playing in Germany, the interest of the Premier League has not faded. Chelsea still put hope, while Barcelona was also reportedly watching the situation of the winger carefully.

Olise, a young star with great potential

Olise’s development was so rapid. The last season with Palace has shown quality, with 16 goals contributions (10 goals and 6 assists from 19 matches). But his performance in Bayern made him up to class, an increase of almost 170% in just one season.

At the age of 23 years, Olise has become one of the most complete wingers in Europe. His creativity, speed, technique, and sharpness continue to increase. His flexibility allows him to play in various attacking roles, both widening, stabbing inside, or creating opportunities for teammates.

With a very large potential, it’s no wonder that Bayern are so determined to maintain this valuable asset. And for Liverpool, plans to find a wrong successor can face steep roads if Bayern succeed in binding Olise with a new contract.
