Journalist reports Liverpool holding talks with 26-goal/assist sensation and preparing to activate release clause for summer move

Liverpool is reportedly engaging in discussions with the representatives of Bayern Munich’s winger Michael Olise, while simultaneously pursuing RB Leipzig’s young talent Yan Diomande.

This comes from a journalist’s post on X, suggesting the club is lining up what could be two thrilling additions ahead of the summer window. The original claim states: “Our high-level source at @LFC has provided us information that the club are in talks with Michael Olise’s representatives and will activate the release clause once personal terms are agreed. Liverpool want to sign both Michael Olise & Yan Diomande this summer.”

Liverpool supporters would be thrilled if this turns out to be true, especially regarding Olise, who has the potential to transform the team. The France international has delivered an outstanding 10 goals and 16 assists across 22 Bundesliga matches this season, equating to over one goal involvement per appearance.

He’s currently viewed as one of the top attacking talents globally, making him an ideal candidate to eventually step into Mohamed Salah’s shoes as a long-term option on the right flank.

That said, prying Olise away from Bayern Munich would likely come at a steep price, and it’s unclear whether the player would be eager to depart the Allianz Arena, where he’s thriving.

Additionally, Liverpool might miss out on Champions League qualification next season, which could significantly reduce their appeal for a star of Olise’s caliber.

The interest in Diomande might serve as a key backup plan. At just 19, the Leipzig prospect isn’t yet on Olise’s level but shows immense promise as one of football’s rising stars and could prove a shrewder, more cost-effective choice in certain respects.

Past experiences at Liverpool have shown that big-name established forwards like Alexander Isak or Florian Wirtz have faced challenges adapting, whereas younger talents like Hugo Ekitike have excelled—suggesting a profile like Diomande’s might align better with the club’s needs.
