Eberl confident Olise will not leave Bayern despite Liverpool interest | OneFootball

Liverpool are targeting Bayern Munich winger Michael Olise as they look to replace Mohamed Salah this summer.

The France international has caught the eye of the top brass at Anfield, bagging 19 goals and 29 assists in all competitions this season.

Liverpool are preparing for the departure of their Egyptian talisman in June and have set their sights on Olise, who has been sensational since moving to Germany.

However, the Bavarians will not simply let Olise leave and join Liverpool. Sporting director Max Eberl was adamant that they will not be selling him this summer.

When asked if the Liverpool target would remain at the club, he said to ZDF (via Florian Plettenberg), “Absolutely.

“For us, there is not a second of thinking about it. He is developing excellently.”

There are not many right-wingers who can replace Salah’s production on the right flank, and none are available on the market.

Besides Olise, Liverpool are reportedly considering Yan Diomande, another winger taking the Bundesliga by storm this season.

He is a natural left-winger who has been dazzling on the right, but it remains unclear if the Reds will be willing to meet the €100 million asking price after one excellent season.

Salah’s output is not just elite. It is system-defining for Liverpool boss Arne Slot.

His goals, assists, availability, and decisiveness cannot be replicated by a single signing in this market.

Liverpool must instead think laterally. That means recruiting two high-level wingers, one on each flank, capable of sharing the creative and scoring burden.

Two new wingers, plus Alexander Isak and a firing Florian Wirtz, will need to step up to the plate.

Spreading responsibility across multiple attackers is the only realistic way to soften the blow.
