Overview
- On Thursday, Sky Sports reported that Bayern Munich are drawing up contingency plans to target Dani Olmo in the January transfer window as cover for possible departures of Jamal Musiala or Michael Olise.
- Multiple outlets say Bayern could test Barcelona with a sizeable offer in the €70–€80 million range to force talks, though reported figures vary between roughly €70m and €80m.
- There have been no formal approaches to Barcelona and no direct contact with Olmo or his agents so far, and MARCA says the player has not been notified of any Bayern interest.
- Intermediaries have been sounding out several top Premier League clubs, including Arsenal, Liverpool and Manchester United, about Olmo’s availability which keeps the market for him broader than just Bayern.
- Olmo’s contract runs to 2030 and his Barcelona status, past Bundesliga spell at RB Leipzig and World Cup form make any mid-season move costly and complex, so Bayern’s planning is currently precautionary rather than a confirmed transfer.
