Fichajes reports that Liverpool have identified their preferred attacking replacement, with Olise emerging as the main target to fill the expected void left by Mohamed Salah.
The Reds are reportedly ready to bid over €100 million for the player, but Bayern Munich are also holding firm, asking for €150 million to part ways with him.
Bayern Munich are also considering extending the Frenchman’s contract through 2031 as a measure to secure his future and make a transfer more difficult.
Recently, Football Insider’s Pete O’Rourke reports that Bayern Munich have no plans to lose star man Michael Olise anytime soon amid interest in his services from PSG and other top clubs.
“I think it’s a real difficult deal to do for anybody, not just Manchester City, because Bayern Munich don’t want to lose to Olise,” O’Rourke said. “He’s under contract until 2029. There’s talk about preparing a new deal to try and ward off that interest and sort of end any speculation with a move away.
“I’m sure Bayern will be confident they can keep hold of Michael Olise. So yeah, it looks a real difficult deal to do for Man City and all Michael Olise’s other suitors as well, because he’s such a key man for Bayern now.
“Bayern won’t want to lose their top players and they’ll put a huge price tag on their side to scare off those potential interested clubs and as I said they’re preparing a new contract that they will hope that the Frenchman will sign to sort of end any speculation of a move away from Bavaria.“
