The hottest storyline right now is about Dani Olmo, but below are the latest updates on the most important transfer rumours surrounding the club.
Jules Koundé
According to Sport on Tuesday, Jules Koundé is the priority for Bayern Munich this winter. The report states the Bavarians wish to sell Kim Min-Jae to raise at least 40 million euros, which will be reinvested to acquire the FC Barcelona player, whose value is estimated at 60 million euros by the specialized website transfermarkt. The situation may evolve this winter as the Munich club is waiting for a sign from the player. On Sunday, SPORT had reported that Koundé has a valuation of €50 million and is of interest to Bayern since becoming a substitute.
Gianluigi Donnarumma
Several European clubs, including Bayern Munich, are interested in Gianluigi Donnarumma, according to a Team Talk report on Tuesday. The goalkeeper may become available if Manchester City is forced to sell key assets due to potential heavy sanctions for FFP breaches.
Dani Olmo
A report from Goal.com on Saturday claims that Bayern Munich are reportedly planning an €80m transfer bid for Barcelona midfielder Dani Olmo in January. The report adds that Bayern Munich have identified Olmo as a primary target as they look to strengthen their attacking options. According to TEAMtalk on Saturday, intermediaries are offering Olmo to various clubs, and it is believed that he could cost up to €70 million in January.
Erling Haaland

On Tuesday, sources for TEAMtalk stated that Bayern are preparing to sign Haaland if the timeline is compatible with Harry Kane’s remaining years at the club and are already researching the future of their attack.
Frenkie de Jong
On the Bild podcast Phrasenmäher on Tuesday, Rafael van der Vaart advised that if Bayern Munich were to sign a Dutch star, it should be Frenkie de Jong from Barcelona. Van der Vaart stated that de Jong would improve Bayern.

Marcos Llorente

Jordan Pickford
On Tuesday, sources told TEAMtalk that Bayern Munich have downplayed suggestions that they are planning to sign Everton goalkeeper Jordan Pickford.
