Liverpool have retained Michael Olise on their transfer list, but Bayern Munich are unwilling to let the French winger go in the January transfer window.
Reports from Germany indicate that the Merseysiders are closely monitoring the situation surrounding the 24-year-old, despite the German club's clear stance.
Bayern's firm stance on Olise this winter
Bayern Munich's position regarding a January transfer is unequivocal: they are not considering allowing Olise to depart mid-season.
Last summer, Bayern's CEO Jan-Christian Dreesen emphasised that the club had not received any offers for the Frenchman, underlining his importance to the squad.
Olise continues to play a role for the Bavarians, with his contract extending until 2029. However, there are hints within the club that discussions about his long-term future may take place next summer.
Liverpool set sights on a summer move
Liverpool's interest in Olise is not new. They had previously regarded the Frenchman as a potential replacement for Mohamed Salah.
This situation is particularly pertinent for Liverpool, given their need to bolster their right flank. Olise fits the profile of a player capable of operating on the right, creating opportunities, and regularly contributing to the attack.
However, any potential move is unlikely to materialise in January. Bayern have made it clear they will not part ways with the player during the winter window, signalling that any development in this story may only arise after the season concludes.
