Bayern Munich ‘to line up’ January move for Dani Olmo | OneFootball

Bayern Munich are ready to test Barcelona's resolve with a sizeable package to bring Dani Olmo back to the Bundesliga in January. He is a primary winter target.

Sport reports that Bayern are lining up a January move, shaping plans amid interest in their own stars such as Jamal Musiala and uncertainty over Olmo's place in Hansi Flick's project.

After missing key summer targets, the champions want to act decisively. Since returning to his boyhood club two years ago, the 26-year-old has impressed but is still battling for consistent starts despite standout World Cup form.

Flick has at times used him deeper than for Spain, which could test patience. The chance to be a focal point in Munich may appeal to a player rarely satisfied with rotation.

Barcelona do not currently wish to sell, having navigated financial fair play and salary cap hurdles to register him through economic levers. Even so, while Olmo is viewed as non-transferable, an offer around €80m would prompt debate. Ferran Torres has already departed and questions persist over Alejandro Balde.

October looks pivotal, with Paris Saint-Germain in the Champions League and a Clasico with Real Madrid likely to reveal his status. Limited minutes in those games could turn up the volume from Munich. Bayern await a signal from the player's side, mindful of his four and a half years at RB Leipzig.
