What Bayern are internally saying about signing Mo Salah immediately after impending Liverpool exit

Bayern Munich have moved to quash speculation linking them with a summer move for Liverpool winger Mohamed Salah, with sporting director Max Eberl informing CF Bayern Insider that the 33-year-old Egypt international “isn’t a topic” inside the club and that no offer has been prepared for a free-transfer swoop.

The denial follows surprise remarks from Egypt national-team director Ibrahim Hassan, who claimed “offers from Paris St-Germain, Bayern Munich and clubs in the Italian league” had been tabled for Salah, whose Anfield contract is winding down a year early. Christian Falk of CF Bayern Insider, however, has been told categorically by senior sources that the story is “simply not true.”

While Salah’s impending departure from Merseyside is expected to spark a scramble among Europe’s heavyweights, Bayern’s immediate recruitment focus lies elsewhere. The Bavarians have earmarked roughly €80 million to reinforce the left wing and right-back slots, with the larger slice of that budget allocated to the flank—an area where in-form Crystal Palace export Michael Olise already operates. Club analysts believe Salah’s current output does not justify disrupting that balance, particularly when his salary expectations would stretch the wage structure.

Instead, Bayern and Liverpool could find themselves on a collision course over a different target. Both clubs have scouted Hoffenheim’s 19-year-old speedster Bazoumana Touré as a potential long-term solution on the wing. Negotiations for the teenager have yet to begin, but with Salah’s succession already being mapped out at Anfield, a tug-of-war for Touré’s signature may materialise.

Respect for Salah’s achievements at Liverpool—where he has rewritten record books—is said to be universal inside the Bayern offices, yet officials insist the timing, age profile and financial outlay make a move impractical. As Eberl reiterated, the Egyptian superstar is not part of Bayern’s short-term planning, and the club will press ahead with its stated priority of refreshing the full-back and wide positions within its €80 million ceiling.
