Man City Poised to Secure Euro 2024 Top Goalscorer Dani Olmo
Manchester City have emerged as the frontrunners to sign RB Leipzig’s Dani Olmo following recent discussions about a potential summer transfer.
The Spanish midfielder, who has been on Manchester City’s radar throughout the summer, had a £51 million release clause in his Leipzig contract that expired on July 15. Although the Premier League champions chose not to activate the clause, they remain keen on acquiring Olmo.
According to Football Insider, Manchester City are now considered the favorites to secure Olmo during the current transfer window after recent negotiations. While they face competition from Barcelona and Bayern Munich, these clubs are unlikely to pose significant obstacles if City decide to proceed.
Barcelona is focused on signing Olmo’s Spain teammate Nico Williams and cannot afford both players due to financial constraints. Meanwhile, Bayern Munich has already invested heavily this summer, spending €60 million on Michael Olise and €56 million on Joao Palhinha, limiting their ability to make another substantial signing.
Manchester City is well-positioned to pursue Olmo, but it remains uncertain whether they will make an official offer.
Why Man City is Interested in Dani Olmo
Dani Olmo is a versatile midfielder whose ability to play in various positions makes him highly attractive to managers. The 26-year-old was one of the standout performers at Euro 2024, helping Spain win the tournament and finishing as the joint top scorer with three goals. His current form has significantly raised his profile, making this an ideal time for a move.
Despite dealing with multiple injuries throughout his career, which delayed a transfer to a top club, Olmo’s potential move to Manchester City could be a thrilling next step. Under Pep Guardiola’s guidance, Olmo could further elevate his game.
