Manchester City is considering making a £60 million bid for Spanish international star Dani Olmo, who is currently playing for RB Leipzig. The versatile attacking midfielder has been in excellent form during the ongoing European Championships, where he has helped Spain reach the quarter-final stage of the tournament. City’s interest in Olmo is not new, as he was on their transfer wish list last year as well.

According to a report from The Sun, Manchester City is now seriously contemplating making a move for the 26-year-old playmaker, who has a release clause of £60 million in his contract with RB Leipzig. The two clubs already have a good relationship following the transfer of Josko Gvardiol last summer.

In addition to Olmo, City is also interested in signing Newcastle United and Brazil international midfielder Bruno Guimaraes. The 26-year-old had a release clause of £100 million in his contract with Newcastle earlier this summer, but City did not meet that figure before the clause expired. Negotiations are now underway with Newcastle in the hopes of securing a deal for Guimaraes at a lower price.

Pep Guardiola is looking to strengthen his squad ahead of what could be his final season in charge of Manchester City. The club’s performance in the transfer market this summer will be crucial as they aim to defend their Premier League title and make a strong push in the Champions League. Olmo and Guimaraes could provide valuable additions to City’s midfield, adding depth and quality to the team.

City fans will be eagerly awaiting news of any potential signings in the coming weeks as the club looks to build a squad capable of competing at the highest level. Guardiola’s tactical acumen combined with the talent of players like Olmo and Guimaraes could make Manchester City a formidable force in English and European football next season.
