FC Barcelona and Bayern Munich have begun talks for a swap that could shape the next transfer market. Laporta and Deco are looking to strengthen the team without making large investments. They have found in the Bavarian club the perfect opportunity to bolster the squad without further compromising the club's delicate economy.
Dani Olmo, who arrived as the star signing of the summer, hasn't had the expected impact at Barça. Despite the excitement caused by his return to Barcelona, injuries and registration issues have complicated his continuity. Now, Bayern has shown interest in taking him back to the Bundesliga and has put forward a proposal that Barça is studying.
Dani Olmo: A Signing Marked by Irregularity
The Spanish midfielder landed at Barça last summer as one of the most important bets of the board. His performance at RB Leipzig and in the European Championship made him one of the most sought-after pieces in the market. The blaugrana club invested 60 million euros to sign him.
However, his time with Hansi Flick's team has been plagued by ups and downs. Since his arrival, he has suffered several injuries that have prevented him from having continuity in the starting eleven. Additionally, Barça's economic difficulties complicated his registration in LaLiga, which delayed his debut and caused discontent in his camp.
Despite his undeniable quality, Dani Olmo has only been able to play just over 30% of the minutes this season, which has led the club to reconsider his continuity.
Bayern Munich Enters the Equation
Bayern Munich has closely followed Dani Olmo's situation and considers that his signing could be a great market opportunity. Company has insisted on strengthening their midfield with a creative and versatile player, and Olmo fits perfectly into their plans.
Meanwhile, Barça needs to strengthen their attack with a top-level winger. And that's where Bayern has put forward an unexpected proposal: a swap with one of their most unbalancing players.
For Barça, this operation represents a unique opportunity. The board knows that Dani Olmo's departure could generate some controversy, but in return, a player who fits perfectly into Hansi Flick's scheme would arrive.
Additionally, Bayern is in a complicated situation with this player, as his contract expires in 2025 and he hasn't renewed yet. If they don't manage to sell him this summer, they could lose him for free next season.
The Chosen One to Strengthen Barça
The player who would enter the operation is none other than Leroy Sané.
The German winger has been one of Bayern's key pieces in recent years, but his future in Munich is hanging in the air. With a contract until 2025 and without having reached an agreement for his renewal, the Bavarian club is open to including him in a swap that allows them to strengthen their midfield.
Sané is a player who fits perfectly at Barça: fast, unbalancing and experienced in the elite. His arrival would bring the dynamism that Hansi Flick seeks in the wingers and would allow the team to have a top-level option alongside Lamine and Raphinha.
For Barça, Sané's arrival means strengthening one of the team's most important positions without making a large financial investment. In contrast, Bayern gets a talented attacking midfielder with experience in the Bundesliga, covering one of their main needs.
The operation isn't closed yet, but talks are advanced. If everything goes as planned, Dani Olmo could return to Germany and Leroy Sané would wear the blaugrana jersey next season.
With this move, Laporta and Deco demonstrate that they are willing to make big changes to improve the squad and continue competing at the highest level.
