Without Salah, the Merseysiders are ‘searching for goals and ideas and Mbappe’, but it is unclear whether they will be able to satisfy the pay demands of the PSG superstar, who is expected to leave this summer.
Liverpool are hoping to sign Olise from the Eagles during the January transfer window.
The major Italian media publication mentioned that all the big clubs like the 22-year-old but Liverpool are prepared to ‘get ahead’ of the competition to sign him as early as this month.
If needed, they are even willing to pay a fee of £52m-£60m (60-70 million euros) for Palace to let him leave ‘immediately’.
As per Football Insider, Chelsea and Premier League champions, Manchester City, are also interested in signing Olise.
The former Reading winger had an injury hit campaign but since returning to fitness, he has been top class for Palace.
The youngster has netted four goals in the last many league games and also provided an assist. He mainly plays on the right flank and has the trickery and the pace to beat defenders. Moreover, he is set-piece specialist.
