The £40m Winger Liverpool Should Target Instead of Michael Olise

Olise is the dream, but Akliouche brings pressing, chance creation and value for money.

There’s a clamour for Liverpool to sign Michael Olise at the moment. You can’t blame anyone for wanting one of the best wingers in the world to join the Reds.

Olise is absolutely the perfect option – especially to fill the void left behind by Mohamed Salah. He is world-class and has a very high ceiling.

But is he a realistic transfer?

Why Michael Olise to Liverpool Is Unrealistic

Would Bayern Munich be open to selling him? And if so, would their demands be easily met by Liverpool?

Perhaps more importantly, would Olise even be open to joining the Reds in the current state they are in?

The answer to all those questions are probably ‘no.’ It’s why the dream of signing Olise is just that – a dream. This summer, it’s a transfer that is simply not attainable for Liverpool.
