It means Liverpool are not under immediate pressure to replace their top scorer and can carefully assess the market over the next year or so.

Liverpool, City and PSG want Olise

But one player already on the radar according to one prominent Bayern Munich insider is Michael Olise.

The France international, 23, moved to Bavaria last summer and has already proven to be an excellent addition.

Now Christian Falk is claiming that Liverpool, Manchester City - and European champions Paris Saint-Germain - are all interested in signing the former Crystal Palace star.

Olise on the radar admits Falk

“Premier League clubs have Michael Olise on their radar,” Falk wrote in his Bayern Insider column.

“The Frenchman is currently in top form. Thomas Müller already predicted in a conversation with me that the winger would become an absolute leader at FC Bayern!

“Of course, other top European clubs have also noticed this. PSG are interested in Olise, and as a Frenchman, he would fit perfectly into the Ligue 1 outfit’s philosophy.

“But in England, too, there is annoyance that the player was not kept in the Premier League. Only Newcastle made a serious effort, but lost the poker game against Bayern Munich.

“Now, bigger clubs like Liverpool and Manchester City are also interested in Michael Olise.”

Falk denies Olise release clause

Olise joined Bayern for around ÂŁ50m back in 2024 and is tied to the Allianz Arena side until 2029. Last week whispers emerged that the attacker had a release clause in his Bayern contract. However, Falk has clarified that NO such clause exists.

“However, FC Bayern will not accept any offers," he wrote. "Good news for Bayern: the rumours about an exit clause in Olise’s contract are NOT TRUE.”

Therefore if Liverpool are going to add Olise as a potential Salah replacement further down the line then they are going to have to pay top dollar to do so.
