Manchester City are reportedly interested in RB Leipzig attacking midfielder Dani Olmo, as per the Daily Mail. The English tabloid also mentions that Manchester United and Real Madrid are among the other clubs keeping an eye on the Spanish international, along with Chelsea and Tottenham.
Opinions among fans about City potentially signing Olmo are divided. Some believe that he would be a good fit for the team due to his versatility in attacking positions, while others are concerned about his injury record.
Some fans believe that Pep Guardiola can transform Olmo into a top performer, while others are wary of adding another injury-prone player to the squad.
@gbmcfc: “Sicknote, same as Neto”
@MrManCity8: “YES he fits our profile so well. Can basically play anywhere across the 4 attacking positions”
@Luizchim00: “Get him to the club.”
@JakePritchardFC: “Would be a decent option for our midfield incase Wirtz or Musiala are too expensive”
@MexicanSavagev8: “Wouldn’t mind olmo but I really want wirtz more”
@Gooner4Laif: “Pep will turn him to a beast, trust me.”
Olmo has had a difficult season due to injury
Olmo, who is currently 25 years old, has struggled with injuries throughout the season. He has been sidelined for a significant portion of the campaign due to knee and shoulder issues. This has been a recurring problem for the midfielder, as he has faced similar lengthy absences in the previous two seasons at Leipzig.
Despite his injury woes, Olmo remains a sought-after player because of a release clause that will become active this summer. Any club can acquire him for €60m (£51m). City’s Director of Football Txiki Begiristain has a history of capitalizing on such clauses to sign top talent, like Jack Grealish, Rodri, and Erling Haaland. It remains to be seen if City will make a move for Olmo as well.
Overall, it will be interesting to see how City navigate the potential signing of Dani Olmo in the upcoming transfer window.
