A week ago, we covered claims from Spain that Manchester City have ‘emerged with force’ in the race for RB Leipzig’s Dani Olmo.
The attacking midfielder has a €60m release clause which is valid until July 20th and it hasn’t been activated so far.
Thursday’s edition of Mundo Deportivo talks about Manchester City’s interest in the 26-year-old when discussing Barcelona’s efforts to try and sign him this summer.
The La Liga side are keen on signing both the Spain international and Athletic star Nico Williams this summer.
On Tuesday, Barca director Deco met with Olmo’s agent Juanma López in Barcelona, and already made progress with the representative over his client’s personal terms. His side are not alone and this is when Manchester City and Bayern Munich are mentioned.
It’s claimed Olmo has ‘good offers’ from Manchester City and Bayern. Offers from Pep Guardiola’s side and the Bavarian club are both financially superior for the €60m player.
Atlético Madrid have become the latest club to join the race, and initiated contact over signing the Leipzig star. Mundo say he would prioritise Manchester City, Bayern and Barca over Diego Simeone’s side, unless they make an irrefutable offer.
Last week, Bild stated Leipzig are willing to sell Olmo for €60m if his clause isn’t activated by Saturday. This allows Olmo’s suitors to spread the payment instead of paying the full amount in one go.
