Bayern targets Dani Olmo with a £69m bid as other links emerge

Bayern Munich are preparing a £69m bid for Barcelona and Spain forward Dani Olmo (28), according to Sport.

Meanwhile, Trent Alexander-Arnold at Real Madrid is not considering leaving despite reported interest from Arsenal and Liverpool, and Manchester United are keeping an eye on Barcelona left-back Alejandro Balde, with January a possible exit window.

Elsewhere, Liverpool and Manchester United are linked with Tottenham defender Micky van de Ven, but any move would require a big fee. The gossip also points to AC Milan’s Fikayo Tomori and Ruben Loftus-Cheek, with both set to depart next year as their deals expire in June.
