This Bayern rumour from Spain raises eyebrows | OneFootball

FC Bayern is once again being linked with an attacking star they have pursued in the past. But the rumor from Spain raises questions.

Dani Olmo is currently experiencing a difficult phase at FC Barcelona – and now FC Bayern is once again being linked with the Spanish international.

According to the Spanish portal Fichajes.net, FC Bayern has the 27-year-old back on their radar. The attacking player, who has been linked with the record champions several times in the past, is struggling with injuries and increasing competition in Barcelona. In particular, Fermin Lopez has overtaken him with strong performances. While Lopez impresses with his goal threat and creativity, Olmo is currently only used sporadically.

FC Bayern had already courted Olmo in the past. During his time at RB Leipzig, the Spaniard was considered one of the most sought-after midfielders in Europe. His agent Andy Bara confirmed at the time: “When Dani was at Dinamo Zagreb, Bayern offered more money, and their marketing side was more extensive.” Nevertheless, Olmo chose Leipzig to take the next step in his career there. Even in recent transfer windows, Olmo has repeatedly been a topic at FC Bayern.

Now, reports from Spain are once again surfacing about possible Bayern interest in Olmo. According to the report, Olmo could take on the role of a creative playmaker under coach Vincent Kompany. The rumored transfer fee is up to 75 million euros.

Olmo to Bayern? Why a transfer is unlikely

However, the new rumor about Olmo is raising eyebrows. For context: FC Bayern is excellently staffed in Olmo’s position. Jamal Musiala is expected to be the central player for years to come and has just extended his contract with Bayern on a long-term and lucrative deal.

In his absence, Serge Gnabry has recently filled in at his position and made a good impression. Even though Gnabry’s contract expires in the summer, it is unlikely that Bayern will spend so much money on a player with Olmo’s profile.

Other attacking stars like Michael Olise, Luis Diaz, and top talent Lennart Karl are regularly rotated through the attacking positions in Vincent Kompany’s system and can also play in the attacking center. Karl, in particular, is expected to get more playing time in the future. Another expensive attacking player of Olmo’s caliber would make this even more difficult.

Conclusion: A transfer of Olmo to Bayern is currently unlikely despite the rumors from Barcelona.

Next summer, Bayern will focus more on other areas – especially in defense, where contract talks with Dayot Upamecano and possible alternatives are the main priorities.
