Eberl confident Olise will not leave Bayern despite Liverpool interestLiverpool 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.
