Mohamed Salah has announced he will leave Liverpool at the end of the season, bringing an end to a monumental era at Anfield. In a heartfelt social media video, the Egyptian said: 'Unfortunately, the day has come... I will be leaving Liverpool at the end of the season.' His departure prompts the question of who can fill his boots.
Liverpool's ideal successor is Bayern Munich winger Michael Olise, according to reports. The left-footed right-winger has scored 16 goals and provided 27 assists this season, mirroring Salah's style. However, prising him from Bayern would require a record fee, and the club may be cautious after costly signings Alexander Isak and Florian Wirtz have yet to fully deliver.
Olise would pair with Alexander Isak, who has struggled since joining last summer, scoring three goals in 16 matches before a broken leg. Liverpool hope a resurgence, aided by Olise's creativity, will revive the form he showed at Newcastle.
Completing the front three would be Anthony Gordon, a lifelong Liverpool fan who nearly signed in 2024. The England winger’s direct running and personal connection to the club could tip the balance in any deal, though his arrival may signal the end for Cody Gakpo.
