Liverpool are interested in signing Bayern Munich striker Michael Olise in the coming months and will have to pay a substantial sum of money for him.
According to Fichajes, Liverpool would be ready to offer more than 100 million euros to recruit the French international. The 23-year-old has been outstanding for Bayern Munich since joining the club.
Michael Olise to replace Salah?
He recorded 43 goals last season. He is undoubtedly one of the best players in Germany at the moment. Liverpool view him as a potential replacement for club legend Mohamed Salah. The Egyptian is showing signs of decline and will need to be replaced.
The French International could be the ideal acquisition. He is a priority target for the Premier League champions, and it remains to be seen whether they are prepared to break the bank for him. The report claims that Bayern Munich are demanding around 150 million euros to let the player leave.
Can Liverpool afford Olise?
It will be interesting to see if Liverpool are willing to pay that kind of money for him.
They recently paid a similar sum for Alexander Isak (a British record transfer fee of £125 million). They also decided to pay a premium for Florian Wirtz earlier this summer. There is no doubt that Liverpool have the resources to pay a premium for Olise, and they also intend to spend big on the right player.
The 23-year-old would be an exceptional acquisition for the English club. He knows the Premier League well from his time at Crystal Palace, and he could make an instant impact at Liverpool. The opportunity to return to England could also be exciting for the player. It remains to be seen whether Liverpool follow up on their interest with an official proposal in the coming months.
