Liverpool cool interest in Michael Olise as focus shifts to alternatives

Liverpool appears ready to move on from the chase for Bayern Munich winger Michael Olise, with the German giants making it clear they have no plans to sell the Frenchman.

Bayern considers Olise a key long-term player, with his contract running until 2029, and has shown no willingness to negotiate a transfer fee.

With every top club admiring Olise and Bayern firmly closing the door, Liverpool has accepted that a deal is highly unlikely and is adjusting their plans.

The club is intensifying efforts to sign a new wide forward following Mohamed Salah’s announced departure, but that search is now expected to exclude Olise.

Attention has shifted to other targets, including familiar names like RB Leipzig’s Yan Diomande and PSG’s Bradley Barcola, as Liverpool looks for a more realistic solution.

Juventus winger Francisco Conceicao has been added to Liverpool’s shortlist after joining the Italian side permanently last summer in a €32m move.

The 23-year-old has become a regular starter in Turin, contributing four goals and three assists in 34 appearances, and is viewed as a player who could grow into a major role at Anfield.
