Dani Olmo does not look like a priority for Bayern Munich.

RB Leipzig star Dani Olmo has been on the transfer radar of several clubs, but today is the last day that his €60 million clause will be active.

That does not mean that he will not be available, though, as reported by Sport Bild journalists Tobi Altschäffl and Yvonne Gabriel (via @iMiaSanMia). RB Leipzig will still listen to offers in that price range for the Spanish star:

Dani Olmo’s €60m release clause expires at midnight. No club is planning to activate it today. Bayern are still keeping an eye on Olmo’s situation, but he’s not a priority target. Plan A is Xavi Simons, plan B is Désiré Doué. Olmo would be a target if both deals fell through. What’s certain is that Bayern only want to sign one of these three players. Even after the release clause expires, Leipzig have agreed internally to listen to offers of at least €60m for Olmo.

With Bayern Munich not fully interested, it could open the door for Manchester City, FC Barcelona, Liverpool FC, or any of the other parties rumored to have interest in Olmo to get a deal done.

Getting Olmo for €60 million or less, could prove to be a steal.
