There’s speculation about Mohamed Salah leaving Liverpool for a Saudi Arabian club, prompting the Reds to consider alternatives.
In response to this uncertainty, Jurgen Klopp’s team has reportedly set its sights on Crystal Palace’s emerging talent, Michael Olise.
The 22-year-old, who operates as a left-footed right-sided winger, may not match Salah’s current prowess, but he presents himself as a promising candidate for Klopp’s system.
Sources suggest that Liverpool is closely monitoring Olise’s progress with a potential deal in mind, whether it materializes in the January transfer window or during the summer. However, competition for Olise’s signature is fierce, with Manchester United also expressing interest, and Chelsea having previously made a substantial but unsuccessful offer for the player.
According to reputable reports, Olise’s contract includes a release clause set to become active in the upcoming summer. Notably, this new clause carries a significantly higher value (£35 million) compared to the previous one.
The young winger’s impressive performance in the current Premier League season, contributing five goals and one assist in nine matches, further cements his appeal as a potential replacement for Salah.
