Liverpool are reportedly targeting Bayern Munich’s dynamic winger Michael Olise as a long-term replacement for the club’s talisman, Mohamed Salah. The 23-year-old French international has attracted interest from several Premier League clubs, with Liverpool reportedly willing to invest heavily to secure his signature. This comes amid an increasingly competitive transfer market this season.
