The FC Barcelona midfielder Dani Olmo has had quite a mixed last year. He was a key player for Spain and helped his national team win the World Cup this summer. Meanwhile, he also continues to play at a very high level for the Blaugrana club, but is still not a fixed starter for Hansi Flick.
The German coach tends to rotate him and Fermin Lopez in the attacking midfield position. This season, Fermin has started five games so far, while Olmo has started three, two in La Liga and one in the Champions League.
Naturally, this is not an ideal situation for a player of Olmo’s stature, and it seems like other clubs are looking to take advantage of it. This is particularly the case with [Bayern Munich, who have been linked with the Spanish midfielder](https://barcanewsnetwork.com/bayern-munich-will-try-to-sign-e70m-barcelona-star-in-january/) in the last few days, as they look to strengthen their team after a rather quiet summer.
However, according to [SPORT](https://www.sport.es/es/noticias/barca/bayern-quiere-hurgar-suplencias-dani-134708956), there have been no contacts between the Bavarians and the midfielder yet, and the Bundesliga side will not make a move for him unless they have reason to believe that the Spaniard would be open to accepting their offer.
One factor that makes Olmo a particularly interesting player for Bayern is his experience of playing in the Bundesliga. He proved his worth in the top German league with RB Leipzig, before making the move to the Blaugrana club. However, the midfielder’s entourage has already made it clear that the Spaniard is fully settled at Barcelona.
For their part, the Catalans are clear about their plans for the World Cup winner, as they see him as an exceptional player, who offers a unique profile. Unlike other players, like Ferran Torres or Alejandro Balde, they are not going to listen to offers for the midfielder.
Dani Olmo can be particularly useful for Barcelona in the upcoming stretch of the season, when the Blaugranes will be playing against the likes of Paris Saint-Germain and Real Madrid, even though the Spaniard will have to work for a starting role.
