Bayern still in the race: Barça star remains on Munich’s radar | OneFootball

Even though the new season started just a few weeks ago, the decision-makers at FC Bayern are already working hard on squad plans for the upcoming summer. According to a report from the Spanish portal Fichajes, an old acquaintance could come into focus: Dani Olmo.

The Spanish national player was regularly a topic at Säbener Straße during his time at RB Leipzig. Now, the German record champion is said to have set their sights on the 27-year-old once again. According to the report, Bayern is even preparing a concrete offer for Olmo to strengthen their offense in the summer of 2026.

Olmo only transferred from Leipzig to FC Barcelona in 2024 for 55 million euros. He is under contract there until 2030, his current market value is estimated at around 60 million euros. Nevertheless, an opportunity could arise for interested clubs.

The Catalans are still struggling with financial problems and are reportedly open to selling the 2024 European champion, according to Fichajes. Barça particularly wants to save on Olmo's salary to be more flexible again.

This could present an exciting option for FC Bayern. Olmo is versatile: he can play both in the attacking midfield and on both wings. This would perfectly fit the profile of coach Vincent Kompany, who values versatile players.

Munich's offensive planning in focus

Bayern's offense is still prominently staffed with Jamal Musiala, Michael Olise, Serge Gnabry, and Harry Kane. However, the future of some players is uncertain: Gnabry's contract expires in 2026, and an extension is uncertain given his high salary. Nicolas Jackson is currently only on loan, and whether a permanent transfer will occur has not yet been definitively clarified.

If a gap opens up next summer, Olmo would be an attractive solution—and not an unknown for Bayern. His name has come up several times in internal discussions, and now the interest could become more concrete.
