According to a report from Joni Ramos of Relevo, RB Leipzig’s Dani Olmo — a rumored target of Bayern Munich — has a release clause in his contract for €60 million. If Bayern Munich wants to get Olmo this summer, it will have to pay RB Leipzig a decent little chunk of change:
Dani Olmo is another Spaniard on Bayern’s list for this summer. Olmo has a €60m release clause in his Leipzig contract. For now, the player’s focus is on his recovery to join the national team in the best possible shape ahead of the Euros. Then he will make a decision on his future.
Olmo would potentially be a winger or wide forward for Bayern Munich, but the Bavarians will have to hold off other competitors for Olmo like Manchester City, Liverpool FC, and FC Barcelona. Would you like to see the Spaniard in Bavaria?
Manchester City boss Pep Guardiola thinks Vincent Kompany will be the head man with the Citizens at some point:

Eric Dier put in a strong second half of the season at Bayern Munich, including this impressive stat:

Bayern Munich’s offseason is underway and it looks like (again!) the club has made a decision on its coaching hire.
Vincent Kompany is likely going to be the man for the job, but the coaching position probably will not be the only experiencing change this summer. The Bavarians are going to be targeting several areas for improvement and — even aside of all of that — the future of many current players on the roster could be in jeopardy as well.
We will talk about all of that and more on this edition of the Bavarian Podcast Works Show. Let’s take a look at what we have on tap for this episode:
- Vincent Kompany looks like he will ink a deal with Bayern Munich and Hansi Flick will do the same for FC Barcelona. Will both clubs be better off for it?
- Max Eberl made the final call on Kompany…and stepped over Uli Hoeneß to make it happen. Was that a wise move? Either way, he is going to thrive or get fired on his own terms.
- Could Joshua Kimmich — or any other Bavarians — take a look at joining Flick in Catalonia.
- Throwing a little appreciation toward Bayer Leverkusen and their incredible season.
Former Bayern Munich transfer target Trevoh Chalobah could be on his way to West Ham United:
West Ham United are ready to swoop for Chelsea defender Trevoh Chalobah, who impressed during the Blues’ late season surge.
Aston Villa could be looking to sell-off former Bayern Munich treble-winner, Philippe Coutinho:
If you missed FC Kaiserslautern’s tifo for the DFB-Pokal vs. Bayer Leverkusen, it was something to behold:
Remember THAT German Cup final choreo by Kaiserslautern fans?
Reports in Germany say it cost the ultras some 100,000 euros (!), and took 1,000 hours of work.
Important to point out: Ultra groups in Germany don’t receive any financial help from their clubs.

Bayern Munich’s season might be over, but its offseason is already in full swing.
The coaching search could be over, the roster overhaul could be starting, and fans can only sit and wait for everything to play out.
What do we do in the meantime? Let’s discuss it all!
This is what we have on tap for the episode of the Bavarian Podcast Works — Weekend Warm-up Show:
- Bayern Munich seems very close to hiring Vincent Kompany (where have we heard that before? Xabi Alonso, Julian Nagelsmann, Ralf Rangnick, Hansi Flick, Thomas Tuchel Roberto De Zerbi…) and why this time, fans should take it very seriously without feeling like Charlie Brown trying to kick that damn football.
- The positives of hiring Kompany — his playing experience, his ability to relate to players, his style preferences match Bayern Munich’s ideals.
- The negatives — no competitive big game experience, has never coached in major competitions for a high profile club, his locker room command might not jibe with the egos and personalities in Munich, and he just got RELEGATED. All that, plus Bayern Munich cannot afford to miss…again…on this hire.
- What’s the Weekend Warm-up’s verdict? Well, this might be a little risky.
- Aside of that, Chris Führich and Theo Hernandez could be on their way to Bavaria, while Jamal Musiala could be on his way out in 2025.
