RB Leipzig’s Dani Olmo is at the center of transfer rumors linking him to Manchester City, with the Premier League champions looking to strengthen their midfield this summer. Despite interest from Barcelona as well, Olmo reportedly prefers a move to England, where he has personal connections with current City player Josko Gvardiol. However, there has been no concrete signal from Manchester City about triggering Olmo’s €60 million release clause.
While Olmo has been productive for RB Leipzig when fit this season, injuries have limited his playing time. With uncertainty surrounding key players like Kevin De Bruyne and Bernardo Silva at Manchester City, the club is looking to bolster their midfield options. West Ham’s Lucas Paqueta and Newcastle’s Bruno Guimaraes are also on City’s radar, as the club looks to strengthen ahead of the upcoming season.
Despite no official offer from Manchester City yet, RB Leipzig are reportedly preparing for Olmo’s potential departure. The 26-year-old midfielder has been an important player for the German club, contributing eight goals and five assists in all competitions this season. With connections to Gvardiol and a reported preference for a move to England, Olmo could be a key target for City in the upcoming transfer window.
