Manchester City is actively pursuing RB Leipzig midfielder Dani Olmo, with their interest in the €60 million-rated player becoming more concrete. The club is on the lookout for new midfield recruits, considering possible departures of Kevin De Bruyne and searching for a capable back-up for Rodri. Despite initial interest in Newcastle United’s Bruno Guimaraes, Manchester City is now focused on Olmo as a potential replacement for De Bruyne.
While Joshua Kimmich remains an option for Manchester City in the defensive midfield, the focus is shifting towards Olmo. Reports suggest that the pursuit of the Spanish international is intensifying due to Pep Guardiola’s desire to bring him to the Etihad Stadium.

As pre-season training approaches, Manchester City’s transfer plans are expected to solidify.

With the European Championships and Copa America ongoing, the transfer activity is likely to pick up once these tournaments conclude.
