According to Diario Sport, Bayern Munich is closely monitoring Olmo's situation at Barcelona, hoping to capitalize on his status as a backup player to explore acquisition opportunities. Although there has been no contact between the two clubs yet, Bayern views him as a strategically valuable transfer target and will only act if there is genuine interest from the player's side.

Olmo proved once again at the World Cup that he is a distinguished attacking player. The Barcelona forward delivered an exceptional performance at the tournament and is playing well at Barcelona now, but that has not made him an undisputed starter. Due to strong competitive drive, Olmo is not entirely satisfied with his current situation, and Bayern hopes to leverage this to find a way to sign him.

The Bavarian club has not yet completed all its transfer business in this complex market, with several investments still pending, and Olmo fits perfectly into their needs. Sky Germany first reported Bayern's interest, but the reality is that there has been no contact between the two parties. If Bayern believes a transfer is not feasible from the player's perspective, they will not act hastily.

Olmo was one of Barcelona's marquee signings in the summer 2024 transfer window. Barcelona fully committed to him, with a transfer fee exceeding 60 million euros, completed under immense salary cap pressure. The club indeed struggled to register him, but fortunately, he eventually was able to play.

Since joining, Olmo has been an important player, but not a consistent starter. Barcelona's attacking positions are currently crowded and, in midfield, he partially overlaps with Fermín, who currently gets more playing time. This La Liga season, Fermín has started 5 times, while Olmo has started only twice. The former Leipzig player started in just one Champions League match, against Feyenoord.

Flick deploys Olmo in a deeper role compared to his position in the Spanish national team, and at Barcelona, competition for these positions is incredibly fierce. Olmo could be a starter at any European club, but he is not an undisputed starter at Barcelona—a situation that also applies to other Barcelona squad players. This gives the German club an opportunity to act, as they believe Olmo would be a strategically valuable signing.

Olmo is familiar with the Bundesliga and found success there, and he is a renowned player on the international stage. Those close to the player repeatedly emphasize that nothing is happening at the moment, and this is indeed the case. There has not even been a single conversation, although everyone knows that Olmo, along with many Barcelona and Spanish national team players, will attract attention in the transfer market.

Barcelona remains unmoved on this issue. Olmo is a strategic investment, and the club is satisfied with his performance and his distinctive characteristics compared to existing squad players. Olmo combines excellent technical ability, shooting prowess, and goal-scoring capability, making him a very special player who needs to work hard to earn his place after the international break.

October will be a significant month, with important matches such as the Champions League encounter against Paris Saint-Germain and El Clásico against Real Madrid in La Liga, which will define his role. Bayern is still waiting for a signal, but none has emerged so far. Their intention is clear, and they are prepared to pursue a significant operation if an opportunity arises. At Barcelona, they are also aware that one day they will not be able to keep all their players. The club allowed Ferran Torres to leave in this summer transfer window because that deal was very favorable at the time, and they will also listen to offers for Balde. However, for now, despite Bayern's growing interest in Olmo, Barcelona has not opened the door to his departure.
