Manchester United and Bayern Munich are both eyeing a potential transfer for RB Leipzig’s Dani Olmo this summer. The interest from both clubs has intensified, with talks already taking place between Manchester United and the player’s representatives as they look to secure a deal.
Despite previous interest from Chelsea and Manchester City, it seems unlikely that Olmo will be making a move to either Stamford Bridge or the Etihad Stadium. The Spain international had an impressive season in the Bundesliga, scoring four goals and providing five assists in 21 appearances.
Olmo, who signed a contract extension with Leipzig last June, still has three years left on his current deal. However, Bayern Munich have already made moves in the transfer market, signing Michael Olise from Crystal Palace. Manchester United, on the other hand, have Bruno Fernandes and Mason Mount as options in the No.10 position but are keen on adding Olmo to their squad.
With a release clause of €60 million in his Leipzig contract, set to expire on 20 July, clubs are expected to intensify their efforts to secure his signature after Euro 2024. The 26-year-old has been in fine form for Spain during the tournament, scoring three goals and providing two assists, making him a standout player and a potential Golden Boot winner.
Having spent four-and-a-half years with RB Leipzig since his move from Dinamo Zagreb in 2020, Olmo has proven himself as a valuable asset with 29 goals and 34 assists in 148 appearances for the Bundesliga club. His performances at both the club and international level have attracted interest from top European clubs, and a move this summer could be on the cards.
As the Euro 2024 tournament nears its end, all eyes will be on Dani Olmo and his potential transfer to either Manchester United or Bayern Munich. With both clubs eager to strengthen their squads ahead of the new season, securing a deal for the talented midfielder will be a top priority for them in the coming weeks.
