Bayern Munich’s honorary president Uli Hoeness has aimed a dig at Liverpool after they were linked with a move for Michael Olise.

Liverpool are in the market to replace Mohamed Salah this summer and reports this week have claimed that Olise is at the top of the Premier League club’s shortlist.

Olise has been in sublime form for Bayern this season with 16 goals and 27 assists, while Vincent Kompany’s side remain in contention to win four trophies.

And Hoeness insists Bayern have no intention of allowing the 24-year-old to join Liverpool in the summer transfer window.

‘If that’s true… I don’t believe it is, but Liverpool spent 500 million this year and are having a very bad season. So we won’t be contributing to them playing better next year,’ Hoeness said at an AI festival on Thursday.

‘We play this game for our fans. We have 430,000 members, we have many millions of fans around the world, and it does them little good if we have 200 million in the bank and play worse football every Saturday because of it.’

Speaking earlier this week, Bayern’s sporting director Max Eberl also dismissed the prospect of Olise leaving the club at the end of the season.

‘Michael has a contract with us until 2029, without a release clause – we’re relaxed,’ Eberl told Sport Bild.
