Liverpool want £50m Arsenal Target to Replace Mohamed Salah

Liverpool have made Bayern Munich midfielder Michael Olise their top target to replace Mohamed Salah, according to reports in France.

Salah has decided to end his nine-year stint with Liverpool and will leave Anfield on a free transfer this summer.

Liverpool are now in the market to sign a replacement for their third-highest all-time top goalscorer and according to RMC Sport, Olise is at the top of their shortlist.

The report adds that Arsenal, Chelsea and Paris Saint-Germain have all made Olise a priority target ahead of the summer transfer window.

However, Bayern are understood to have no intention of selling Olise this summer and remain in a strong negotiating position as the midfielder still has three years remaining on his contract.

Olise joined Bayern in a £50 million deal from Crystal Palace in 2024 and has established himself as a key figure in Vincent Kompany’s side.
