Liverpool Face Huge Fee for Michael Olise Transfer

Liverpool have learned that Bayern Munich value Michael Olise at £100m, potentially blocking a move. The 23-year-old playmaker scored 12 goals and provided 18 assists in 34 Bundesliga matches last season, totaling 24 goals and 24 assists in 60 games for Bayern. With a contract until 2029, Bayern can dictate Olise’s future, making a transfer a massive financial challenge for Liverpool.

As the summer transfer window closed, Liverpool have been linked with Bayern Munich midfielder Michael Olise, with reports revealing that the German club have set a huge asking price of £100 million for the France international. Olise, who joined Bayern from Crystal Palace, has quickly become a key figure under Vincent Kompany, scoring 12 goals and providing 18 assists in 34 Bundesliga appearances during the 2024-25 season. Overall, he has accumulated 24 goals and 24 assists in 60 appearances for the club.

Liverpool, who spent nearly £450 million on new signings in the summer while recouping around £228.1 million from player sales, may have financial flexibility for future signings. The 23-year-old is being viewed as a potential long-term replacement for Mohamed Salah, who is expected to leave Anfield within the next two years. However, with Olise contracted to Bayern until 2029, the club is in a strong position to dictate his future, making such a transfer one of the most expensive in football history.

Although Liverpool have shown a willingness to spend large sums, the immediate priority may lie in strengthening other areas of the squad rather than the final third. Bayern’s firm stance could therefore deter Liverpool from pursuing Olise in the near term, despite his impressive trajectory and world-class potential.
