Liverpool are already preparing for life after Mohamed Salah who turned 33 in June and remains under contract until 2027.
The Egyptian forward who was signed from Roma in 2017 for a fee rising to £34.3m [$46m] has since become one of the most prolific players in Premier League history.
He committed to fresh terms this year but club officials are aware he will be 35 when his deal expires, and planning has already begun.
According to the Daily Mail, Liverpool have identified Michael Olise as a priority target for the next one or two transfer windows.
The 23-year-old French winger left Crystal Palace for Bayern Munich where he delivered 34 direct goal involvements in 48 appearances across the Bundesliga and Champions League last season.
His record makes him among Europe’s most productive young wide players and Liverpool have placed him high on their shortlist.

The French winger has shrugged off fitness concerns during his time at Crystal Palace, the winger responded strongly in his first season in Germany.
The UK-born player who represents France featured in 55 matches for Bayern Munich across all competitions last season and amassed over 3800 minutes of action.
