Bayern Munich have firmly rejected any possibility of selling Michael Olise to Liverpool, even as the Premier League club prepares to replace Mohamed Salah next summer. Fenway Sports Group has identified the French winger as their primary target to fill the void left by the departing Egyptian star, but the Bavarian giants have made clear that no price tag applies to their prized asset.
According to German journalist Christian Falk of Bild, Bayern's stance is unequivocal: Olise is not for sale at any price. Falk dismissed recent Spanish reports suggesting Liverpool could offer €170 million (£147m) for the 24-year-old right-winger, stating bluntly that Bayern would reject such advances regardless of the fee. "Bayern don't care about any potential outside interest in Michael Olise. He's not for sale," Falk wrote on his CFBayernInsider platform, adding that even a record-breaking offer would be rebuffed with a simple answer: keep the money and keep the player.
Olise's Bavarian Success Story
Olise's trajectory since joining Bayern from Crystal Palace in the summer of 2024 has been remarkable. The France international has already established himself as one of Europe's most dangerous attacking talents, accumulating 42 goals and 53 assists across 106 matches in all competitions. His contributions have been instrumental in Bayern's back-to-back Bundesliga triumphs under Vincent Kompany's management, cementing his status as a cornerstone of the club's attacking unit.
Bayern president Herbert Hainer reinforced the club's commitment this week, publicly declaring their intention to build the future around Olise. With the winger contracted until summer 2029, Munich possesses both the leverage and the desire to retain their brightest attacking prospect. Liverpool's search for a Salah successor will need to explore alternative options, as the German champions have sent an unmistakable message: their elite talent is off limits.
