Liverpool is reportedly keeping a keen watch on Crystal Palace’s Michael Olise, considering a potential transfer in the upcoming window. According to reports, Liverpool’s scouting team has been closely observing the 22-year-old forward, who has garnered interest from several other clubs.
Olise impressed with two goals in Palace’s recent win against Brentford, sparking discussions about him potentially succeeding Mohamed Salah, whose contract with Liverpool is due to expire next summer.
Football Insider revealed Liverpool’s interest in Olise as a possible replacement for Salah, as the Reds evaluate long-term options for their attacking lineup. While Salah has attracted interest from Saudi Arabia, Liverpool seems hesitant to let go of the Egyptian, hinting at a possible stay until the next summer transfer window.
Despite Olise committing to a four-year deal with Palace earlier and overcoming fitness challenges this season, Liverpool has been monitoring his progress for years, recognizing his versatility and adaptability across multiple positions on the field. In the current Premier League season, he has excelled primarily as a right-sided forward, showcasing his prowess with five goals and one assist in nine appearances.
