Domino Effect: Nicolas Jackson’s Transfer May Lead Michael Olise to Liverpool

FootemXtra.com – Michael Olise is rumored to be joining Liverpool after Bayern Munich finalized a major deal for Nicolas Jackson, which could reach €75 million.

Surprising Transfer of Nicolas Jackson

On the transfer deadline day, Bayern Munich secured Nicolas Jackson from Chelsea. The 24-year-old striker moved to Germany on a one-season loan with an obligation to buy permanently.

As reported by Bayern Space on X, the overall transfer package is estimated to be around €75 million, not including Jackson’s significant salary.

Jackson’s role at Chelsea diminished following the arrivals of Liam Delap and Joao Pedro. Although he attracted interest from various clubs, including Liverpool, he was not seen as a key player for Chelsea’s attack.

Thus, his transfer to Bayern came as a surprise, especially at such a high price for a player often relegated to the bench.

Domino Effect: Olise Might Be Sold

Interestingly, the same report indicates that Bayern’s acquisition of Jackson could pave the way for Michael Olise to head to Anfield.

The Bayern Sporting Director, Max Eberl, reportedly convinced the club’s board that the funds for Jackson’s permanent transfer would come from selling another star player, either Harry Kane or Michael Olise.

Olise, 23, has long been on Liverpool’s radar. The former Crystal Palace star is believed to have a release clause in his contract that could be activated in 2026 by clubs like Liverpool, Manchester City, or Paris Saint-Germain.

If Bayern intends to sell him, Liverpool’s chances of securing him would be significant.

Ideal Replacement for Mohamed Salah?

While Germany’s media has questioned the existence of Olise’s release clause, this news still serves as a positive signal for Liverpool.

Mohamed Salah’s contract expires in 2027, and should Bayern decide to let Olise go to cover the transfer cost for Jackson, Liverpool’s Sporting Director Richard Hughes is unlikely to miss the opportunity.

Olise is regarded as one of the top creative talents in Europe and could serve as an ideal successor to Salah at Anfield. His creative playing style could be vital in helping Liverpool’s attack transition in the future.
