FC Barcelona star Dani Olmo’s agent, Marc Bara, has revealed that Bayern Munich made approaches for his client on two occasions in the past.
The first came when Olmo was still playing for Dinamo Zagreb in Croatia. According to Bara, Bayern’s interest was turned down on his advice.
“He rejected Bayern on my initiative when he was at Dinamo. I told him: you need to take another step, and that’s what happened,” Bara said on the “Inkubator” podcast, according to Spanish publication Sport.
Olmo subsequently joined RB Leipzig in 2020, where he continued to attract interest from top European clubs. Bayern later made another offer for the Spanish international, but once again didn't end up signing him, as he opted to move to Barcelona in 2024.
“Later, he received another offer from Bayern as a Leipzig player, and Barcelona and other clubs were also interested,” Bara said.
“We chose Barcelona, which perhaps wasn’t the best choice, but everything worked out for him afterwards. He won the European Championship, the Nations League, the World Cup, and is one of the ten best players in the national team. His story is like a movie, and I’m happy to have been part of it.”
Olmo is now once again being linked with a move to Bayern. However, Sport reports that there have been no contacts regarding a potential move to Munich for the attacking midfielder.
