Liverpool have decided to rip up Mohamed Salah’s £400k per week deal one year early.
The Egyptian King, 33, was originally due to remain on Merseyside until 2027. Following a difficult campaign – which featured a high-profile fallout with Arne Slot – Salah will be free to find a new club this summer.
It brings into focus Liverpool’s crucial choice of which player will come to replace the goal-getter. There have been several top wingers linked – such as Bradley Barcola and Yan Diomande.
But one candidate stands out above all others for decision-makers at Anfield.
Liverpool want Olise to replace Salah
According to a report in Football Insider the Premier League champions see Michael Olise of Bayern Munich as their dream right-wing signing.
The Frenchman has been in sensational form since swapping Crystal Palace for Bayern back in summer 2024 for only £53m.
Under contract until 2029 Bayern are very well protected if any sides – such as Liverpool – make an attempt to bring the 24-year-old back to the Premier League.
Olise won the plaudits during last week’s Champions League quarter-final first-leg win against Real Madrid at the Bernabeu – mesmerising Los Blancos on their own turf.
However Liverpool will be forced to look elsewhere for their Salah replacement as the report claimsBayern will not sell under any circumstances.
