❌ It is NOT TRUE: Bayern Munich are keeping an eye on Dani Olmo as a potential January window transfer. I talked with someone inside the club and they said the Spain international was not a serious option for Bayern Munich. You never know, of course, what might happen if Michael Olise doesn’t end up signing a new contract in the summer and is sold. At that point, Olmo’s name could be considered. Max Eberl, Bayern’s head of sport, knows the player well from his time at RB Leipzig. So, I wouldn’t say that Dani Olmo will absolutely not be on a list in the summer in the event FC Bayern have to find an Olise successor. However, Bayern Munich aren’t really focusing on such a list because they want to push hard to get Michael Olise on a new contract. Other names, like Florian Wirtz or Olmo would surely be on this list, but the best player in the position in Europe is Michael Olise. That’s why they want to keep the Frenchman.
Manchester City striker Erling Haaland favors a move to Spain over Arsenal, despite the Gunners having the financial muscle to pursue him, reports TEAMtalk. After news of City’s financial charges that could result in the club’s relegation, Haaland’s camp has identified 2027 as a potential departure date from the Etihad for the Norway striker, though his contract runs to 2034. And Barcelona will be looking to put themselves in pole position for his signature alongside Real Madrid if he becomes available.
According to Football Insider, Tottenham are keeping tabs on the experienced central defender, but Bayern Munich are not planning to sanction his departure mid-season. Vincent Kompany reportedly wants to retain Kim as Bayern compete for major honours domestically and in Europe.
It remains to be seen whether Tottenham decide to test Bayern’s resolve when the transfer window reopens in January.
Kim has been linked with a move to English football in the past, and former Tottenham manager Jose Mourinho reportedly wanted to bring him to North London in 2020. Spurs eventually decided against completing the transfer before the defender continued his career with Fenerbahçe.
The South Korean could prove to be a useful acquisition for Tottenham if they manage to secure his services in the future. He has demonstrated his quality at the highest level, and his experience could be invaluable for the Premier League outfit.
