Did we miss the time to say goodbye. Liverpool are looking for a replacement for Mohamed Salah.
Spain's Pichahes reported on the 25th (Korea time) 'Liverpool is preparing a 200 million euro bid (about 340 billion won) to recruit Salah's replacement'
Born in 1992, Salah is a striker who commanded the English Premier League (EPL) along with Son Heung-min of the same age. He was Liverpool's ace in name and reality. Since he first transferred to Liverpool in 2017, he has been a key player in the attack. He swept various records and became one of Liverpool's best players. Only the EPL Golden Boot (scoring king) won four times (2017-2018, 2018-2019, 2021-2022, 2024-2025), and was also selected as the EPL Player of the Year in the 2017-2018 season and 2024-2025 season.

Salah's flame burned more splendidly in the 2024-2025 season. Salah was mentioned as a strong candidate for the Ballon d'Or until the middle of the season with 34 goals and 23 assists in 52 games. However, abnormalities began in the second half of the year. The economic influence began to decline rapidly. It continued until this season. Salah has been a starter all along, but his influence on the game has declined significantly. Efficiency has fallen sharply as important opportunities have been lost or sluggish scenes have increased. With five goals and three assists in 17 games, the stat is somewhat lower than expected for Salah.
In the end, Liverpool began to agonize over their separation from Salah. It seems that the candidate for replacement has already been decided. Pichahes said 'Liverpool has nominated Bayern Munich's Michael Olise as Salah's replacement. The club is aware of the need to reinforce the offense with young players who can open a new era and change their performance. Olise is considered the best candidate for the role. Liverpool are ready to offer an offer worth 200 million euros. This demonstrates a great deal of trust in him.

Olise is Europe's top right winger this season. Olise, who made his professional debut at Reading in 2019 and began to properly showcase his talent at Crystal Palace, was courted by Bayern Munich in the summer of 2024 before heading to a European big club. Olise, who showed off his skills with 17 goals and 18 assists in 50 games from the first season, is playing as Bayern's ace along with Harry Kane this season. He scored 12 goals and 10 assists in 23 games. He shook the Bundesliga with his unique stable dribbling, excellent pass sense, and sharp kicks. There is no shortage to be Salah's replacement.
For Liverpool, it is inevitable whether Bayern will give up Olise. If Bayern does not accept the transfer offer, the concern to replace Salah's sluggishness will inevitably grow. If Salah cannot overcome his slump this season, he will have to think about other options besides staying in Liverpool.
