The 2-0 win against West Ham United in the English Premier League has eased Liverpool FC’s worst worries for the time being, but it’s still not all sunshine and roses for the Reds: As eighth in the table, the defending champions are already nine points behind Arsenal FC, and the offensive, which is nominally full of world-class players, isn’t really getting going yet. In the winter, they apparently want to invest in the squad again at Anfield Road, and an FC Bayern star should also play a role in the considerations.
Antoine Semenyo from AFC Bournemouth was previously considered the favorite to strengthen Liverpool FC’s attack department in the winter. However, “CaughtOffside” wants to know that Manchester City could successfully interfere with the Reds in their courtship of the 25-year-old. The Cityzens are said to be ready to pull a €65 million release clause in the Ghanaian international’s contract. It is therefore said to be heard from “player advisor circles” that Liverpool are now also working with other players.
The portal is said to have a “Plan B”, which includes a list of Liverpool FC’s “short- and long-term transfer targets”.
In addition to Juventus’ exceptional talent Kenan Yildiz and Rodrygo from Real Madrid as well as Iliman Ndiaye from Everton FC, the name of Michael Olise from FC Bayern can also be read on it.
FC Bayern has the upper hand
The 23-year-old winger moved to Munich in 2024 – and made a huge impact straight away. Since then, rumors about the competition’s interest have been rife again and again, with the Reds persistently being part of the speculation. It is said that the French international is the reigning English champion’s “dream signing” and simply the “ideal image of the modern winger.”
However, and “CaughtOffside” doesn’t hide this either, an advance in the winter is probably completely hopeless. In any case, it is highly questionable whether the German record champions would become weak at all. Olise’s contract does not end until 2029, but FC Bayern bosses have always emphasized that they see the left-footer as one of the pillars of the coming years.
