‘He could be a star’ – Ex-Chelsea winger tells Liverpool to forget Olise and sign 19y/o instead Liverpool have been advised to forget about signing Michael Olise and instead seek to develop solutions from within, or move for a gifted young South American who’s currently impressing in Europe. The Bayern Munich winger has been a frequently cited transfer target for the Reds over the past few months, but the Bundesliga champions have remained adamant that they won’t sell the 24-year-old for any price this summer.

ON APPLE & GOOGLE PLAY FSG have been left with the thankless task of executing a long-term succession plan for life after Mo Salah, who’s leaving Anfield at the end of this season, and Florent Malouda has named Endrick – currently on loan at Lyon from Real Madrid – as an ideal alternative who could be more attainable. Malouda: Endrick ‘could be a star’ at Liverpool Speaking about the 19-year-old Brazilian to Snabbare (via Liverpool Echo ), the ex-Chelsea winger said: “I think he has a challenge with Kylian Mbappe [at the Bernabeu] because as long as Mbappe is playing up front, it will be difficult for him to compete for this position. For me, he might need another loan in a more challenging league, and maybe the Premier League could be an option.
“A move to a club like Chelsea? I think he might go somewhere else because he doesn’t really fit Chelsea’s style of playing. I would see him most probably at a club like Arsenal or Liverpool, most probably Liverpool, where he can have a more direct style of playing.
He could be a star there. ” (Photo by Jose Manuel Alvarez Rey/Getty Images) In addition to considering a move for Endrick, Malouda also encouraged the Reds to promote from within rather than forlornly pursuing Olise, saying: “Michael Olise to replace Mohamed Salah? He is happy at Bayern.
