Bayern Munich are prepared to make a £69m bid for Barcelona and Spain forward Dani Olmo, 28, according to a report in Sport cited in Sunday's transfer gossip published on 26 September 2026. The same round-up also carries claims about multiple other transfer stories circulating across European outlets.
The gossip column compiles items from a range of sources, naming Sport, TeamTalk, Mundo Deportivo, Caught Offside, Gazzetta, Bild, El Nacional, La Gazzeta dello Sport, Marca and Tuttomercatoweb among those cited. It lists the potential Bayern approach for Olmo alongside several links involving players in England, Spain and Italy. The collection reflects rumours and reports published on 26 September 2026.
TeamTalk reports that Real Madrid's Trent Alexander-Arnold, 27, is not considering a move away from the club despite interest from Arsenal and Liverpool. Mundo Deportivo says Manchester United are keeping a close eye on 22-year-old Spain left-back Alejandro Balde, who might leave Barcelona in January. Caught Offside adds that Liverpool and Manchester United are both interested in Netherlands defender Micky van de Ven, but that prising the 25-year-old away from Tottenham would require a large fee.
Gazzetta reports Defender Fikayo Tomori, 28, and midfielder Ruben Loftus-Cheek, 30, are set to leave AC Milan next year. The article states the England duo's contracts are set to expire in June. Bild says Bayern Munich are also keen on Benfica's 24-year-old Portugal defender Tomas Araujo.
El Nacional reports Barcelona continue to closely monitor Norway striker Erling Haaland, 26, and suggests the club hopes he could become a more realistic transfer target in the summer after Manchester City were found guilty of breaking the Premier League's financial rules. La Gazzeta dello Sport says AS Roma are expected to double their asking price for Chelsea target Manu Kone, 25, to £86m in January after the Blues reportedly rejected a £43m opportunity in the summer.
Marca reports Real Madrid's Spanish defender Raul Asencio, 23, attracted three big-money offers in the summer, including from Premier League duo Chelsea and Liverpool, but chose to stay at the club. Tuttomercatoweb says Spanish full-back Alex Jimenez's loan from Bournemouth to Fiorentina includes an option for the Italian club to buy the 21-year-old for £17m. The Scottish gossip column notes Hibs have taken winger Matondo on trial.
The items in this round-up were attributed to the named outlets and published as part of Sunday’s gossip on 26 September 2026, with the £69m Bayern approach for Dani Olmo among the leading claims.
