Real Madrid and Manchester United have now joined Chelsea in the race to sign Dani Olmo from RB Leipzig.
According to Daily Mail, Real Madrid and Manchester United are keen on signing Dani Olmo, who is also a target for Chelsea. The Spanish international will cost around £52 million due to a release clause in his contract.
The 25-year-old has been linked with clubs like Tottenham Hotspur as well. It remains to be seen where he ends up eventually. Olmo is versatile enough to operate as a central attacking midfielder as well as a winger. He will add goals and creativity in the final third.
Real Madrid could definitely use more quality in their attacking unit, and signing a versatile player like Olmo could prove to be a wise investment. However, the reported £52 million valuation could be a bit of a problem. They will want to sign the player for a reasonable fee, and it remains to be seen how the situation develops.
The opportunity to return to his homeland and play for Los Blancos will be an attractive proposition for the Bundesliga star despite his Barcelona links. Real Madrid are arguably the biggest club in the world, and they are an attractive destination for most players.
While there is no doubt that they have the finances to afford the £52 million asking price, they will not want to pay over the odds for the player. Meanwhile, Manchester United need to add more quality in the final third as well.
They have not been at their best going forward this season, and it remains to be seen whether they can sign the RB Leipzig star in the summer. Olmo will add creativity and goals to the side. He could be the ideal replacement for Christian Eriksen, who is expected to move on in the summer.
Dani Olmo could be tempted to move to the Premier League
The opportunity to move to the Premier League can be quite attractive for most players, and it remains to be seen whether the Bundesliga star is keen on the move. The 25-year-old has seven goals and four assists to his name across all competitions, and he is at the peak of his powers.
This is the right time for him to take up a new challenge and moving to the Premier League can be quite exciting for him. However, Manchester United might not be able to provide Champions League football next season, which could complicate matters.
Attracting quality players without top-four qualification can prove to be quite difficult especially when clubs like Real Madrid are in the race as well. Meanwhile, Chelsea are looking to add more quality to the side, and it will be interesting to see if they can beat the likes of Manchester United and Real Madrid to his signature.
The Spanish international will want to compete at a high level, and Chelsea are going through a rough patch right now. The Blues finished in the mid-table positions last season, and they could easily finish in a similar place this term as well.
