Among the teams keeping an eye on Dani Olmo this summer are Manchester United and Real Madrid.
The 25-year-old Spain international is still doing well at Red Bull Leipzig, and he can depart for £52 million this summer when his clause becomes activated.
Olmo had a fantastic game for Spain on Tuesday night against Brazil. Playing as a number ten, he dribbled through the Brazilian defense and finished with a curling left-foot shot to give Spain a 2-0 lead in their 3-3 draw at the Bernabeu.
Having opened the season with a hat-trιck for Leipzig in the German Suρer Cup against Bayern Munich, scouts from Europe’s top clubs have been drawn to his performances.
The clubs who are still monitoring Olmo’s development include Manchester City, Chelsea, and Tottenham, especially given his versatility as a winger or off the striker.
Olmo signed a new deal in June of last year, which extends until 2027. However, because of the provision, several suitors are currently determining if Olmo could fit into their summer plans.
In their quest to enhance their attacking and creative alternatives, United is evaluating players throughout Europe. Depending on their budget and who departs in the summer, Olmo will undoubtedly be a player of interest.
Kylian Mbappe is anticipated to join Real Madrid this summer, and the Brazilian will be welcomed to Kendrick in July. The team may also need to make a bid for Alphonso Davies of Bayern Munich, which would cost money, but Florentino Perez, the president, is still willing to add the greatest players in Spain to his all-star team if it makes sense financially.
This summer, United needs a central midfielder as well as a center forward, center back, and full back. A lot will depend on who leaves as well.
