Now that FC Bayern’s search for a coach has come to an end with the imminent signing of Vincent Kompany, the focus is now fully on reorganising the squad. One of the first transfers could be Dani Olmo, whose release clause is not valid for much longer.
As one of the best players in the RB Leipzig squad, Dani Olmo aroused the desires of several top clubs last season. FC Bayern are also rumoured to be interested in the Spanish attacking star. Max Eberl in particular is probably a big fan of the 26-year-old, whom he already knows from their time together at RB.
In order to realise a transfer of Olmo, a potential buyer would have to transfer around 60 million euros to Leipzig’s account. According to Sky, the midfielder has an exit clause in his contract with the Red Bulls. However, this is only valid until after the upcoming European Championships, i.e. mid-July. In addition to Munich, Olmos‘ former club, FC Barcelona, Chelsea FC and Manchester United are also rumoured to be interested.
Xavi Simons also on the transfer list
In addition to Dani Olmo, Xavi Simons is another Leipzig attacker who is said to have aroused the interest of FC Bayern. Sports director Max Eberl also knows him very well. He was the one who arranged the loan of the Dutchman last summer. According to Sky, Eberl is said to have courted the player, who was still under contract with Paris Saint-Germain, on a massive scale at the time, including meetings with his family.
Although Simons can therefore be sure of his value within the club, a purchase of the high-class technician could be complicated. This is not only due to the transfer fee, which is rumoured to be between 60 and 70 million euros, but also to the fact that Simons‘ former club PSV Eindhoven still owns shares in the player, according to Le Parisien. According to this, PSV will receive additional payments from Paris until 2025. It is possible that his new club would then have to take over these payments.
