Liverpool-linked winger Michael Olise has come under fire following a disappointing performance for France in their World Cup semi-final against Spain on Tuesday night, where they suffered a 2-0 loss and exited the tournament.

Despite a roster filled with world-class talent, including Kylian Mbappe, Ousmane Dembele, and Rayan Cherki, Olise's performance fell short of expectations. He received a mere 2/10 rating from Get French Football News, criticized for his sloppy mistakes in possession that proved detrimental to the team's efforts.

As France prepares for the third-place play-off this weekend, the focus may shift for players like Olise towards their futures, especially with ongoing speculation about his potential transfer.

• Liverpool has been linked to Olise in recent reports.
• Christian Falk noted in his CF Bayern Insider column that the 24-year-old is unlikely to sign a new contract with Bayern Munich.

This situation could create an opportunity for Liverpool, although any deal for Olise is expected to be costly, given Bayern's stature as a major club reluctant to part with a talent like him.

An in-form Olise is recognized as one of the most dangerous attacking players globally and is viewed as a potential long-term replacement for Mohamed Salah at Anfield.
