Bayern back in for Dani Olmo: eyeing him for January | OneFootball

Dani Olmo is back on the radar of one of Europe’s giants. The Barcelona attacking midfielder has once again attracted the interest of Bayern Munich, who are already considering his name ahead of the upcoming winter transfer window.

According to Sky Sports, the German club sees the Spain international as one of its options to strengthen the attack, although any move would depend on what happens with Jamal Musiala and Michael Olise.

Bayern already know Olmo

The interest is nothing new. Bayern have been tracking the Spanish player’s development for several years, especially after his successful spell at RB Leipzig.

Olmo spent four seasons in Germany and left a significant mark on the Bundesliga before returning to Barcelona in 2024.

In fact, Bayern had already shown interest in him during that period, although the attacking midfielder ultimately decided to return to the club where he came through the ranks.

Now, two years later, his name has reappeared in the plans of the Bavarian giants.

Musiala and Olise could change everything

The potential move is directly linked to the future of Musiala and Olise.

If either of them leaves Munich, Bayern would need to look for a player capable of strengthening their attacking area, and Olmo is among the alternatives being considered by the sporting department.

The Spaniard fits the profile because of his ability to play as an attacking midfielder, but also because of his experience in different systems and his knowledge of the Bundesliga.

For now, however, there is no formal offer.

Barcelona are not considering his departure

The situation also does not point to an easy deal.

Barcelona paid around €55 million to bring Olmo back in 2024, and the player is under contract with the club until 2030.

Since returning to the Blaugrana side, the attacking midfielder has recorded 20 goals and 20 assists in 96 matches. His first season was especially productive, with 12 goals in 39 appearances, while he later added another eight goals.

This season, he has featured in all seven La Liga matches and has three assists, although he has only started two games due to the fierce attacking competition in Hansi Flick’s squad.

€70 million to start talks

Bayern know they would need to make a major effort to try to prise him away from Camp Nou.

Sky Sports values Olmo at around €70 million, a figure that reflects his importance within Barcelona’s project and his long-term contract.

Barcelona, at least initially, have no intention of parting ways with the player. Therefore, any proposal would have to be significant enough to change the club’s stance.

Meanwhile, Olmo remains focused on regaining a prominent role in Flick’s starting XI. But with the January transfer window getting closer, his name is once again on Bayern Munich’s table.
