Dani Olmo, a 26-year-old player from Terrassa, is attracting attention from clubs across Europe. His future beyond the upcoming Euro 2020 tournament with the Spanish national team seems uncertain, as he may be leaving Red Bull Leipzig soon. Olmo extended his contract with the German club until 2027 last summer, with an agreement to entertain offers for the attacker in 2024. Offers have now been made to Leipzig for the Spanish international, with a rumored price tag of €60 million, a significant increase from the €29 million they paid for him.
Olmo is highly regarded in Spain, Germany, and particularly in England, where clubs in the Premier League, including Manchester City, have shown keen interest in his performances. His versatility as a player, contributing both defensively and offensively, makes him a valuable asset for top clubs. His qualities have also caught the eye of Barcelona, where he could potentially provide goals, creativity, and synergy to their forward line under coach Hansi-Flick.
The financial situation at Barcelona, however, requires careful consideration before making a move for Olmo. The latest club to join the race for his signature is Bayern Munich, who seek to revamp their squad for success. Olmo’s previous hat-trick against Bayern in the German Supercup showcased his talent and potential impact. The absence of Kylian Mbappé at Paris Saint-Germain also presents an opportunity for the French club to consider Olmo as a replacement.
Leipzig is open to selling Olmo, as they previously invested in him to become a key player following the departure of Dominik Szoboszlai to Liverpool. The recent contract extension for Benjamin Sesko until 2029 indicates Leipzig’s commitment to retaining their star players while exploring friendly departures for others. Barcelona, Bayern Munich, Manchester City, and several Premier League clubs are actively involved in the ‘Operation Olmo’, each vying for his services.
As Olmo focuses on the upcoming Euro tournament before making any decisions about his future, he will prioritize the sporting project offered by potential suitors. The transfer saga continues to unfold as clubs prepare their offers and strategies to secure the talented Spanish attacker. Stay tuned for more updates on Dani Olmo’s potential move to a top European club.
