Liverpool fans may not want to think about it, but the Anfield faithful are already being prepared for life after Mohamed Salah. Despite signing a new contract until 2027, the Egyptian King continues to be linked with a blockbuster move to Saudi Arabia — and Liverpool are quietly weighing up their options.
Salah’s Future Still Uncertain
At 33, Salah remains one of the most important figures in Jürgen Klopp’s (now Arne Slot’s) squad. He’s started every game this season, proving that he’s still got the hunger and sharpness that made him a club legend. But Liverpool know that interest from the Saudi Pro League is relentless, and it’s only a matter of time before Salah makes a big career decision.
Enter Michael Olise
According to reports, Bayern Munich’s Michael Olise has emerged as a serious candidate to succeed Salah if he leaves. The French winger, who lit up the Premier League during his time at Crystal Palace, has been thriving in Germany under Vincent Kompany.
With 24 goals and 23 assists in just 59 matches, Olise is developing into one of Europe’s most dangerous wide players. His creativity, vision, and ability to cut inside onto his left foot have drawn inevitable comparisons to Salah.
The Big Challenge: Replacing a Legend
Replacing Salah won’t be easy — in fact, it may be the toughest challenge Liverpool’s recruitment team has faced in years. Salah’s numbers, consistency, and sheer aura at Anfield have defined an era. Olise has the talent, but could he handle the pressure of stepping into those shoes?
Bayern Won’t Make It Easy
Of course, Bayern Munich aren’t in the business of letting go of their stars cheaply. Olise’s contract runs until 2029, which means Liverpool would need to pay a serious fee if they want to make this happen. Still, if Salah does leave within the next two years, Anfield might just see a French flair lighting up the right wing.
