Watch: Liverpool transfer target steals show with incredible hat-trick in pre-World Cup friendly

The stumbling block, however, is significant. Bayern Munich have been unequivocal in their stance, sporting director Max Eberl stating the winger is “absolutely untouchable” and that the club hasn’t given a sale “a second thought.”

For Liverpool fans watching on from Merseyside, though, tonight’s hat-trick will only intensify the dream of seeing Olise in red next season.
