Although he has not been a fixed starter for FC Barcelona this season, Hansi Flick decided to put the midfielder Dani Olmo in his starting lineup for the UEFA Champions League game against the Turkish side Galatasaray. The Spaniard was involved in the first goal scored by his side, as he provided the assist for the goal scored by Joao Cancelo.
With this performance, Olmo once again showed why he remains an important player for the Blaugrana side. However, despite this importance, he has been linked with a move away from the Catalan club in the last few days.
The German giants Bayern Munich have reportedly been interested in him and [some reports suggest that they can make a move for the Spaniard](https://barcanewsnetwork.com/bayern-munich-prepare-potential-approach-for-barcelona-star-dani-olmo/) in the upcoming winter transfer window, and were already preparing to make a €90 million move for him in January.
However, the journalist Christian Falk, in his latest column on [CF Bayern Insider](https://cfbayerninsider.com/2026/10/the-bayern-insider-arsenal-lurking-for-munich-starter-as-pavlovic-opens-up-on-man-city/), refutes these reports. He admits that the Spanish midfielder has been of interest to the Bundesliga champions in the past, when he decided to join Barcelona, but for now, they are not working towards his signing in January.
There is no doubt about his quality and it is easy to understand why the Bavarians might want him in their team. This is particularly the case as Olmo already has experience playing in Bundesliga, as he spent a significant part of his career with RB Leipzig.
If the offer reaches €90 million, it can also be an appealing operation for Barcelona. Although they would lose a very high-quality player, they still have several options to cover for his loss. In fact, Flick has already been rotating between him and Fermin Lopez for the attacking midfield spot at the start of this season.
But with this update from Christian Falk, it looks unlikely that Bayern would make a move for the Spaniard in the winter.
