It’s a real tug-of-war between two European giants for Dani Olmo! Since arriving in Germany from Dinamo Zagreb in 2020, the Spaniard has had the gift of performing well with RB Leipzig, even if he has encountered a few physical problems along the way. Versatile and capable of playing both as a playmaker and on the front of the attack, the 26-year-old attacker was already on Manchester City’s radar last summer.
Ultimately, the Terrassa native remained in Saxony while renewing his loyalty to RB Leipzig, extending his contract until June 2027. Coming off an interesting 2023-2024 season with the winner of the 2023 German Cup (8 goals, 5 assists in 25 games in all competitions), Dani Olmo logically earned his place in Luis de la Fuente’s squad to play Euro 2024 with Spain. Integrated into the rotation of the Spanish coach, the Iberian took advantage of Pedri’s misfortunes to force his way into the starting eleven.
Manchester City have gone on the offensive, Barça remain in the race!
With three goals and voted top scorer of the competition, Dani Olmo ended his adventure in style across the Rhine by winning the continental title so coveted by the Roja. A magnificent performance and enough to put Europe at his feet. Followed by Bayern Munich, the Leipzig player has also been announced in the sights of Atlético Madrid but especially FC Barcelona and Manchester City, who have emerged as the two main favorites to obtain the signature of the native of Terrassa during this summer transfer window.
While the two aforementioned teams have approached the German club and the player in recent days, we can confirm that Manchester City has shown a concrete interest in making its offer for the former Dinamo Zagreb player who, for his part, seems to give priority to the Culers. His agent has an appointment in Barcelona this weekend to discuss with the Blaugrana management. For its part, Barça is pushing and still wants to sign him, but must first sell to free up the necessary cash to afford him. As a reminder, Leipzig is demanding €60 million to sell its Spanish prodigy.
