Bayern lose Dani Olmo again as Michael Olise signs for Leipzig rival

FC Bayern Darum missed out on Dani Olmo for a second time, as the 28‑year‑old offensive midfielder again declined a move to the Bavarian giants. His agent Andy Bara explained the decision in the Incubator podcast, noting that Olmo chose RB Leipzig in January 2020 and later returned to FC Barcelona in summer 2024. Bayern instead completed a high‑profile transfer for Michael Olise, a move that reshaped their Bundesliga strategy.

Olmo's transfer saga

The Spanish world and European champion turned down Bayern on two occasions, first when he was at Dinamo Zagreb and later after his spell at Leipzig. Bara, who works for Niagara Sports Company, said, “He rejected Bayern on my initiative when he was still at Dinamo. I told him you need another step forward.” RB Leipzig paid €34.2 million, including bonuses and a sell‑on clause, placing Olmo fifth on the club’s most expensive purchases list.

During his Leipzig tenure Olmo featured in 148 matches, contributing to 63 goals and winning the DFB‑Pokal twice. He also shone at Euro 2024, scoring three goals and providing two assists as Spain lifted the trophy. His market value is listed at €60.00 million.
