Real Madrid are the freshest top club to enter the race for Dani Olmo, joining Barcelona and an array of other top clubs in pursuit of the Dinamo Zagreb star.
Spanish publication Sport are speculating that the list of admirers for Dani Olmo is an ever-growing one, with Real Madrid the latest name to be thrown into the hat. Barcelona were recently linked to the Dinamo Zagreb star, with Bayern Munich also among clubs monitoring the situation.
Dani Olmo is a name that is encapsulating the European market. The 20-year-old is a product of the fabled La Masia setup at Barcelona and joined Dinamo Zagreb in a cut-price deal in the summer of 2014. Olmo has come a long way since, establishing himself as one of the first names in the starting eleven at Dinamo.
Boasting 4 goals and 7 assists this season already, Dani Olmo is rightly being tracked by the top brass of European football. The likes of Manchester United, Dortmund, Marseille and Liverpool were linked earlier. And it seems, Barcelona, Bayern Munich and Real Madrid have joined them now.
At Real Madrid, the need for reinforcements in attack has become imperative after their woeful start to the 2018-19 campaign, or perhaps, the post-Cristiano Ronaldo era. Santiago Solari has been signed up to manage the club till 2021 and his decision to leave out Marco Asensio and Isco from the starting eleven means there is room for an attack-minded midfielder to be brought in.
Dani Olmo will fit the profile of players Real Madrid have targeted and signed over the last couple of years. Another factor which might tempt them is the prospect of beating Barcelona to the youngster’s signature.
Barcelona, on the other hand, might seem a bit desperate to bring back Dani Olmo. His growth has surprised people within the camp, who now want their golden boy to return to Camp Nou, as has been the case for former academy stars who go to other clubs to develop.
The price being floated by media outlets is €25 million, which is not much for Barcelona, Real Madrid or any other suitor named above. The competition is starting to heat up for Dani Olmo, which will be good news for Dinamo Zagreb.
For Barcelona, it is a case of facilitating the return of an academy star; for Real Madrid, it is the prospect of signing a future La Roja superstar. For others, it is simply a case of strengthening their respective squads. For Dani Olmo, it is all about reaching greatness.
