Bayern Target Dani Olmo
Bayern Munich Are Considering A €80 Million January Bid For Dani Olmo
Anonymous
Bayern Munich are reportedly considering an €80 million January bid for Barcelona midfielder Dani Olmo, whose Bundesliga experience at RB Leipzig appeals to the club. The move is contingency planning amid uncertainty over Michael Olise and Jamal Musiala, though Bayern are keen to extend Olise’s contract and neither player is certain to leave. Intermediaries have separately contacted Arsenal about Olmo, but the club has made no concrete move, and Barcelona’s willingness to sell is unclear. Bayern are also reportedly looking to offload defender Hiroki Ito in January, with a summer departure possible if no offer emerges; Sacha Boey could also be sold after Bayern failed to move him on during the summer.
Key Points
1
Olise’s Bayern contract runs until 2029, but the club reportedly wants clarity on his future by next summer to avoid the risk of his market value falling.
2
Musiala’s injury problems and questions about whether he is at his previous level are cited as possible reasons for uncertainty around Bayern’s attacking options.
3
Olmo joined Barcelona in the summer after four and a half successful years at RB Leipzig, meaning a January move would come soon after his return to Spain.
4
Barcelona are understood to value Olmo highly, so Arsenal would likely face a substantial financial commitment if it chose to pursue him.
