We discussed it for two hours, trying to figure out what to do with it. That day, we made a fundamental decision: that in the future, we would never sell a player we would miss on the pitch.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span>\u201cThis unwritten rule still applies today. For a player like Olise, there\u2019s no price tag that would make us flinch.\u201d<\/span><\/p>\n<h2>Michael Olise transfer blow for Liverpool<\/h2>\n<p>Liverpool will bid farewell to the legendary Mohamed Salah at the end of this season, and Olise would clearly be an ideal like-for-like replacement.<\/p>\n<p>TEAMtalk have linked the 24-year-old with LFC, though they also suggested the player himself would favour moving to Spain in the future if it came to leaving the Allianz Arena.<\/p>\n<section class=\"more-stories std-mgn-b\">&#13;<\/p>\n<div class=\"row\">\n<header class=\"col-s-12
