Overview
- Following Tuesday's 5-4 Champions League semi-final first leg at PSG, where Michael Olise scored, Jermaine Pennant urged Liverpool on X to sign him "at all costs."
- The ex-Liverpool winger even suggested a player-plus-cash proposal that included Cody Gakpo as a way to replace Mohamed Salah, who will leave at the end of the season.
- Bayern sporting director Max Eberl told German broadcaster ZDF that Olise is "absolutely untouchable" and not for sale.
- Reporters, including The Athletic's James Pearce on talkSPORT, said a transfer looks unrealistic or would require an enormous fee to prise a peak player from Bayern.
- Olise, 24, has delivered roughly 20 goals and 29 assists this season and remains under contract until 2029 after joining Bayern from Crystal Palace in 2024.
