Fabrizio Romano has revealed that Bayern Munich are now ready to enter the race for RB Leipzig star Dani Olmo, who is reported to be on Tottenham’s radar.
Olmo was sidelined with an injury for almost the entirety of the first half of the season but the attacking midfielder served everyone a reminder of his quality after returning to full fitness.
He finished the season strongly, with eight goals and five assists to his name across all competitions but it has been widely reported over recent weeks that his time at Leipzig could come to an end this summer.
This includes a recent update from Sport BILD (via Sport Witness), which claimed that the attacking midfielder is of interest to the likes of Barcelona and Tottenham.
The report added that while the 26-year-old had even held a meeting with the Barca hierarchy, he is not in a hurry to make a decision on his next destination and might not do that until the end of the Euros.
Tottenham’s and Barca’s interest in Olmo was also backed up a couple of weeks ago by Sport (via Sport Witness), who pointed out that Leipzig are demanding that the player’s €60m (£51.5m) release clause be met, which is ‘almost impossible’ for the Catalan club.
Romano has now taken to social media to reveal that the Spain international is also on Bayern’s shortlist ahead of the summer transfer window.
The journalist explains that the Bavarian club’s director of sport Max Eberl knows Olmo well and that he is overseeing the club’s pursuit of the versatile attacker.
Romano also backs up Barca’s interest in the player and he adds that two unnamed Premier League sides are also after the Leipzig star.

The existence of the release clause makes the deal straightforward to complete but I suspect Olmo would be eyeing a move to one of the big two in La Liga and one would expect them to make a move for the midfielder if he stars for Spain at the Euros.
