Liverpool draws up a four-man shortlist to replace Salah

At 33, Salah has recently been left out of Liverpool's starting lineup and delivered an emotional interview in which he sharply criticized the club's current situation. Meanwhile, rumors continue to swirl about the winger's potential move to Saudi Arabia at the end of the season.

In response, Liverpool have put together a preliminary shortlist of four players who could potentially succeed Mohamed in 2026. BILD journalist Tobias Altschäffl has confirmed: Olise is just one of four options under consideration. The list also includes Kenan Yildiz from Juventus, Rodrygo from Real Madrid, and Iliman Ndiaye from Everton.

However, sources indicate that hopes of signing Michael Olise should be dismissed immediately: Bayern Munich have completely ruled out the possibility of his sale.

Additionally, the Reds are demanding a public apology from Salah, while the future of head coach Arne Slot at Anfield remains up in the air.
