In 2009, we had an incredible offer from Chelsea for Franck Ribery. That would have been a new transfer world record at the time. I then took it to our CFO at the time, Karl Hopfner and Uli Hoeness. We discussed for two hours what we were going to do with this offer.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>\u201cOn that day, we decided something fundamental: that we would not sell any more players in the future who we would miss on the pitch. And this unwritten law still applies today. For a player like Olise, there is no price tag that would make us cringe.\u201d<\/p>\n<h2>Liverpool cannot afford the winger<\/h2>\n<p><smartframe-embed customer-id=\"0fab81ce12e48a0794275e1d82449fb1\" image-id=\"1076692067\" style=\"width: 100%; display: inline-flex; max-width: 100%;\"\/><!-- https:\/\/smartframe.io\/embedding-support --><br \/>As if it wasn\u2019t already obvious, the Reds will not have the funds to sign the former Crystal Palace player.<\/p>\n<p>Despite being the ideal successor for Mo Salah, Bayern\u2019s stance on his departure means they will need to look at different targets.<\/p>\n<h2>Who could be signed instead of Olise?<\/h2>\n<p>It is believed that sporting director Richard Hughes and the club\u2019s recruitment team have already identified RB Leipzig\u2019s Yan Diomande as a more realistic option, although the 19-year-old could still end up costing close to \u00a390m.<\/p>\n<p>Other wingers, including Monaco\u2019s Maghnes Akliouche, Paris Saint-Germain\u2019s Bradley Barcola, Juventus\u2019s Francisco Conceicao and Newcastle\u2019s <strong>Anthony Gordon<\/strong>have also been mentioned as potential targets.<\/p>\n<p><strong>Want more news on Liverpool?
