Liverpool is reportedly determined to sign Bayern Munich star Michael Olise at any cost, viewing the Frenchman as the ideal replacement for Mohamed Salah at Anfield.
Since Salah announced his departure, the Reds have been linked with several elite wingers, including Leipzig’s Yann Diomande, who has been a breakout star in the Bundesliga this season. However, Olise remains Liverpool’s top priority.
The Premier League giants are reportedly preparing a “mega-offer” of €170 million to tempt Bayern Munich into selling.

If the deal goes through at this price, Olise would become the most expensive signing in Premier League history, breaking the record set just last summer when Liverpool signed Alexander Isak from Newcastle for €150 million.
At 24, Olise’s appeal lies in his immediate impact; he is seen as a ready-made leader for Liverpool’s new attacking era. However, Bayern Munich’s stance remains the biggest obstacle. Honorary President Uli Hoeneß previously stated that the club would not let Olise leave regardless of the fee, labeling him “irreplaceable.”
