FC Barcelona midfielder Dani Olmo has emerged as a transfer target for Bayern Munich, with the German club tracking the Spain international, according to reports. The 28-year-old playmaker returned to Catalonia in the summer of 2024 for 61 million euros and remains under contract with the La Liga leaders until June 2030.
Bayern Munich Considers Move for Dani Olmo
Bayern Munich has placed Olmo on its recruitment shortlist to anticipate potential departures in the attacking midfield and wide areas, according to Sky Sports News. Mundo Deportivo confirmed the Bavarian interest, noting that the Bundesliga club also pursued the player before his transfer to Camp Nou. The German side seeks greater creativity and versatility in the final third, traits that match Olmo’s ability to operate centrally or on the flanks.
Domestic and European Ambitions in Barcelona
Barcelona sits at the summit of the La Liga table after seven matches, holding a four-point lead over Real Madrid. The Catalan club also opened its UEFA Champions League campaign with a 5-1 victory against Feyenoord. Olmo has contributed three assists in eight appearances totaling 342 minutes across competitions this season, following a productive international break where he provided three assists in three matches for Spain.
Olmo Remains at Barcelona Despite Premier League Interest
Olmo has received no formal contract proposals and has expressed no desire to leave Barcelona, where he is focused on collecting team trophies. Neither the player’s camp nor any prospective suitor has transmitted an official bid to the Barcelona board. Alongside the persistent interest from Germany, several Premier League clubs continue to monitor the situation as the club weighs its roster depth against future market opportunities.
