Olise deal impossible: Liverpool want two other forwards instead Mohamed Salah’s departure from Liverpool is about to open up a huge gap on the right side of the attack. The Egyptian King, 33, has established himself as one of the world’s best attackers throughout his time at Anfield. His departure will be a big blow - with Salah still the reigning Premier League player of the year.
But having fallen out with Arne Slot the club reached an agreement to rip up his £400k per week contract one year early. When he goes it’s going to require one of the best attacking talents in the world to come in and replace him. According to a report in Marca Liverpool have looked at Michael Olise as their No1 choice to occupy that right flank.
The Bayern Munich winger has increased his reputation tenfold since moving to the Bundesliga giants from Crystal Palace in 2024. Under contract at the Allianz Arena until 2029. Olise deal impossible Indeed the Marca report concludes that the French international’s signing is “impossible” in the eyes of the decision-makers at Anfield.
And - therefore - two alternative names for a winger arrival at Anfield are now in the mix. Bradley Barcola may well be a more achievable target than Olise. Under contract with Paris Saint-Germain until 2028 the France star has dropped out of Luis Enrique’s preferred starting lineup.
