Liverpool are reportedly set to enter the race for Dani Olmo, with the playmaker likely to take up a new challenge in the summer.
According to Fichajes, Liverpool are in the race for Dani Olmo with the 26-year-old playmaker likely to leave Bundesliga club RB Leipzig in the summer. There are a host of other sides keen on the attacking midfielder, with the Reds one of the few ready to give him a significant role and a chance to play Champions League football.
Liverpool enter Dani Olmo’s chase
Liverpool are set to embark on a new era once Jurgen Klopp leaves and a new set up in the background is put in place. Arne Slot will likely take over as their new manager, and with him, he might bring in new ideas about the kind of players he might want to use next season.
The Merseyside outfit might look to strengthen their midfield further, although Slot will want someone with an attacking mindset. They have now reportedly entered the chase for 26-year-old Bundesliga playmaker Dani Olmo, who seems destined to leave RB Leipzig, with the German side likely to demand his entire €60 million release clause to let him go.
There are a host of other clubs interested, with Liverpool not likely to give a tough fight to the others in the chase. The Reds are one of the few sides where the 26-year-old Bundesliga playmaker might fit in well, and the price point may be fine, as Arne Slot will be eager to add more goals to the side.
Even if Liverpool are ready to pay the release clause, they will face competition from a lot of clubs. Olmo might also consider a move back to Barcelona, but there are doubts about the Catalans and their ability to come up with the money for such a transfer. Liverpool could also benefit from the fact that compared to some of their rivals, they can offer Champions League football next season with a competitive squad.
Who else are interested in Olmo?
Manchester City are considered a prominent suitor for Olmo, as are Manchester United and Chelsea. The latter are keen on adding more quality to their squad and could look at players like the 26-year-old playmaker to add experience to their young, budding side.
Manchester United are keen, and they want a player of Olmo’s quality to bring something different to their side that lacks the x-factor. Overall, it appears like there are plenty of suitors for Olmo in the present climate, and the race could heat up, considering his price will be seen as a good bargain by many.
