Dani Olmo has been linked with a move away from RB Leipzig this summer, and Manchester City were reportedly keen on signing him.
Ben Jacobs is now reporting that Manchester City have ruled out a move for Dani Olmo. The Spanish international is reportedly on the radar of Barcelona and Manchester United as well.
The playmaker had an impressive 2023/24 season in Germany, and his performances have been quite impressive in the European Championships as well. So, it is hardly surprising that Manchester City were interested in the Spaniard.
Dani Olmo could prove to be a quality acquisition for most clubs, and it will be interesting to see where he ends up. Manchester City could have certainly used his creativity and technical liability in the final third. The 26-year-old is versatile enough to operate as a central attacking midfielder as well as a winger. He would have added goals and assists to the side.
Barcelona and Manchester United keen on Dani Olmo
Barcelona could use his technical abilities as well. They need to add more quality to their attacking unit. The opportunity to play for one of the biggest clubs in the world will be quite attractive for the Spanish midfielder, and it remains to be seen whether Barcelona decide to make a move for him this summer.
Dani Olmo has a €60 million release clause, and the Spanish club are going through financial difficulties. They might struggle to afford the player unless the Bundesliga outfit lower their demands. Interestingly, his release clause expires soon, meaning a different price tag might be on the cards.
Finally, Manchester United are keen on signing the player as well. They have been overly dependent on Bruno Fernandes for goals and creativity in the final third. The Red Devils need to add more quality to the side and Olmo would be a superb acquisition. His ability to slot into multiple roles could make him a real asset for the Red Devils. The opportunity to play in the Premier League will be quite attractive for the player as well.
Manchester United are one of the biggest clubs in the world, and they will be able to provide him with the platform to compete for major trophies. They have the financial resources to pay €60 million for the attacking as well. It will be interesting to see where Olmo ends up eventually.
