Manchester City is rumored to be interested in RB Leipzig playmaker Dani Olmo, who has been showcasing his talents at the ongoing European Championships. The 26-year-old has been a standout player for Spain, scoring three goals and providing two assists in five appearances. With City looking to strengthen their midfield, reports suggest that the Premier League champions are keeping a close eye on Olmo’s situation.
Despite Olmo having a €60 million release clause in his contract, which is set to expire soon, RB Leipzig is reportedly open to discussing a deal for the midfielder. Manchester City is said to have an advantage over Barcelona in the race for Olmo’s signature due to their financial capabilities. However, as of now, no official approach has been made by City or any other potential suitors, but RB Leipzig is anticipating contact from interested parties before the release clause deadline.
Manchester City’s successful acquisition of Josko Gvardiol from RB Leipzig last summer could work in their favor in their pursuit of Olmo. The strong working relationship between the two clubs could facilitate negotiations for the Spanish midfielder. Despite the mounting interest in Olmo, clubs will need to act quickly to secure a deal before the release clause expires on Monday, creating a strict deadline for potential suitors.
