Manchester City have shown interest in signing Dani Olmo from RB Leipzig this summer, but they have time on their side as his release clause is not set to expire until July. Olmo himself is not under any time pressure and may even wait until EURO 2024 to showcase his talents further. There is a belief that he will leave Leipzig this summer, but there is no rush to finalize any deals at the moment.

There are multiple big clubs interested in Olmo, with Manchester City and Barcelona being among those who have been in touch. However, Barcelona may struggle to afford his €65m release clause and would need the terms to be adjusted. Leipzig are not willing to negotiate and would prefer to keep the star midfielder. Despite the growing interest, no club, including Manchester City, is in a rush to sign Olmo as they continue to monitor his performance in Germany.

Olmo has the potential to be one of the biggest stars of EURO 2024, which could make his release clause seem like a bargain for any club that signs him. Manchester City and other interested parties are keeping tabs on the situation and are prepared to make a move when the time is right. While Olmo is likely to depart Leipzig, the timing of his transfer remains uncertain as clubs assess their financial situations and wait for the right moment to make a move.
