Liverpool legend Steven Gerrard believes Bayern Munich’s Michael Olise and Luis Diaz are ideal successors for Mohamed Salah. The Egyptian is leaving Liverpool after nine years, and the club is looking for alternatives ahead of the summer transfer window opening.
Salah has scored 255 goals for Liverpool and will be remembered as one of the club’s greatest players. His departure will leave a major vacancy in Arne Slot’s squad, despite the fact that his form has dipped this season.

Liverpool spent £320 million on attacking reinforcements last summer in the shape of Florian Wirtz, Hugo Ekitike, and Alexander Isak, but they now need to splurge the cash on another new forward.
Diaz only left Liverpool for Bayern in a £65 million deal last summer, while Olise had joined the German giants the year before from Crystal Palace. Gerrard has been extremely impressed by both players and praised them when covering Bayern’s 2-1 victory over Real Madrid on Tuesday night. Diaz scored.
“All day long,” he said when asked on TNT Sports if he wanted to see Olise at Liverpool. “The thing is, why would he leave Bayern Munich? They’re a large club, competing for major titles, and they’re possibly the best Bayern Munich team we’ve seen in a long time.
Slot made a very similar remark when we discussed the issue last week. “Of course we do,” he replied on Friday when asked if Liverpool had any plans to replace Salah. “We’re not starting work on it right now because we’re continually looking for ways to enhance. There isn’t much talk about it, but Alexander Isak, Hugo Ekitike, and Florian Wirtz spent 88 minutes on the pitch together.
