Gerrard Suggests Liverpool Sign Olise, Recall Diaz

Liverpool legend Steven Gerrard has suggested that his former club sign Bayern Munich winger Michael Olise as a replacement for Mohamed Salah and bring back ex-Reds forward Luis Diaz, amid the team's struggles in the 2025-26 Premier League season.

Gerrard made the remarks during TNT Sports coverage of Bayern Munich's 2-1 Champions League quarterfinal first-leg victory over Real Madrid at the Bernabeu Stadium on Tuesday night. Diaz, who left Liverpool for Bayern last summer in a deal worth around 65 million pounds, scored the opening goal just before halftime, ghosting behind defender Trent Alexander-Arnold to fire home a through ball from Serge Gnabry.

The 29-year-old Colombian has thrived in Germany, recording 23 goals and 18 assists across 40 appearances this season, setting personal bests in European competition. Playing alongside Harry Kane and Olise in Bayern's formidable attack, Diaz has expressed satisfaction with life under manager Vincent Kompany. "It makes me very proud to play in a team with Harry and Michael. They are technically spectacular," Diaz told Sky Germany. "Harry has really surprised me."
