0Barcelona’s midfield maestro may soon be the most wanted man in Munich. With doubts swirling around Jamal Musiala and Michael Olise, Bayern Munich are reportedly drawing up a fresh contingency blueprint, and Dani Olmo sits at the top of it. A report claims the Bundesliga giants are preparing a formal January offer for the Spain international, whose starting role at Camp Nou has noticeably shrunk this season.
Why Bayern Munich Want Dani Olmo in January
Report suggests that Bayern Munich are preparing a formal €70 million bid for Dani Olmo when the winter window opens. That sum would let Barcelona recover their outlay on the playmaker and book a profit on the balance sheet.
Catalan outlet ElNacional pushes the figure closer to €80 million, noting that an offer of that size would, at minimum, force Barcelona to sit down and talk.
Head coach Vincent Kompany has reportedly asked for fresh attacking options, citing the heavy minutes carried by senior players and Musiala’s physical issues.
Olmo would also arrive without a settling-in period, having played several Bundesliga seasons at RB Leipzig before his summer 2024 switch to Spain.
Tactically, he thrives between the lines, drifting close to Lamine Yamal and Pedri and supplying the final pass that cracks a packed defence.

Olmo’s role at Barcelona has narrowed in 2026-27, with Fermin Lopez cementing his place at the tip of the midfield. Even so, the Spaniard holds a valid contract, so an exit is far from automatic
Bayern must first convince the player himself before any formal approach to the Catalan club, and reports say initial talks with his representatives and Barça are pencilled in for November.
Coach Hansi Flick would feel the loss, with Olmo fitting his system and playing at a high level. In January 2025, Bayern sporting board member Max Eberl said the club was “not really considering this” when asked about Olmo, who Barcelona could not then register.
