FC Barcelona attacking midfielder Dani Olmo seems to be attracting strong interest from German champions Bayern Munich.

Reports emerged several weeks ago that the German club had identified the World Cup winner with Spain as a key addition to their attacking contingent, and that they were even considering a move for him as early as January.

Now, building on that, reports in Germany, as relayed by Mundo Deportivo , suggest that Bayern are prepared to take the next step.

According to the update, Bayern Munich are preparing a €90 million offer in an attempt to convince both Barcelona and Olmo.

Bayern looking for creativity and versatility

Bayern Munich’s hierarchy wants to strengthen their attack during the winter transfer window and are primarily looking for a player who can bring in greater creativity and versatility.

And Olmo fits that profile. The Spain international can operate as an attacking midfielder or on either wing, while he can also play as a false-nine, giving the Bavarian giants several options in the final third.

That versatility is one of the reasons the German club’s interest in the Barcelona midfielder is said to be so strong. Furthermore, his experience in Germany, having played at RB Leipzig, only adds to the appeal.

However, Bayern have not yet submitted a formal offer to Barcelona. The German champions are understood to be preparing the details of a proposal, potentially worth around €90 million, before deciding whether to make an official move.

Olmo has no intention of leaving Barcelona

Olmo’s name has also been linked with several other major European clubs, particularly from the Premier League, while Bayern Munich have now emerged as a serious contender.

For now, though, there is no indication that the midfielder wants to leave Barcelona, even though he is not a permanent starter under Hansi Flick, having to compete with Fermin Lopez for minutes.

The 28-year-old is under contract with Barça until 2030 and, despite the interest from Bayern and other clubs, has not shown any intention of departing the La Liga champions.

So far this season, Olmo has featured in all of Barcelona’s eight games but only played 342 minutes, in which he has registered three assists.
