In a potential blockbuster move, FC Bayern Munich is reportedly eyeing Spanish midfielder Dani Olmo (26) as a summer transfer target. Reports suggest that Bayern’s Sporting Director Max Eberl is a fan of Olmo’s versatility and attacking prowess, with the player having eight goals and five assists in 25 games this season. Olmo has a release clause of around 60 million euros in his contract with RB Leipzig, valid until July, making him an attractive option for clubs.
Despite interest from Bayern, Olmo’s former club Barcelona is also said to be keen on bringing him back, adding competition to secure his signature. However, Bayern’s pursuit of Olmo may be influenced by their current managerial situation, with Vincent Kompany reportedly the frontrunner for the head coach position. Negotiations with Burnley for Kompany’s release will play a role in determining how serious Bayern are in their pursuit of Olmo.
With Olmo’s injury history and Bayern’s strong attacking options, the potential transfer is not a straightforward one for the German giants. The decision may hinge on the appointment of the new manager and the club’s transfer priorities. Should Kompany take charge, Olmo could potentially become a key addition to Bayern’s squad as they look to strengthen their team for the upcoming season.
