Bayern Munich eyeing January move for Barcelona's Dani Olmo
Bayern Munich is reportedly preparing a significant move for Barcelona attacking midfielder Dani Olmo during the upcoming January transfer window. The German club is viewing the 28-year-old as a strategic contingency plan in case key players such as Jamal Musiala or Michael Olise depart. Olmo, a Spanish international and World Cup winner, has seen his playing time at Barcelona fluctuate due to competition from players like Fermin Lopez.
Reports suggest that Barcelona may value Olmo at approximately €70 million to €80 million. Such a sale could provide the Catalan club with necessary funds to bolster their squad. Olmo is well-acquainted with the Bundesliga following a successful four-year tenure at RB Leipzig, where he recorded 29 goals and 34 assists.
In addition to the Olmo rumors, Bayern Munich is also exploring options for their goalkeeper hierarchy. The club is reportedly interested in German national goalkeeper Finn Dahmen from FC Augsburg as a potential second-choice option, as veteran keepers Manuel Neuer and Sven Ulreich may approach the end of their careers next summer.
