Manchester City are reportedly in the driving seat in the race for RB Leipzig striker Dani Olmo, who’s currently with Spain at Euro 2024. The 26-year-old is coming off a solid season in club football.
In 25 games across competitions, he bagged eight goals and five assists. Most of those goal contributions – four goals and five assists in 21 games – came in the Bundesliga, where Leipzig finished fourth.
Despite being contracted to the Bundesliga side till 2027, Olmo has been the subject of interest of many top clubs. The former Barcelona player was once linked with a return, but due to their financial issues, they have dropped out of the race, as they were unlikely to be able to pay Olmo’s reported release clause of €60 million.
As per Football Espana (via Mundo Deportivo), City leads the race for Olmo, 26, ahead of PSG and Bayern Munich. However, all three clubs need to hurry, as the player’s release clause is set to increase post-July 15.
Meanwhile, Olmo came on as a second-half substitute as Spain opened their Euro 2024 campaign with a rousing 3-0 win over Croatia on Saturday (June 15).
