Manchester United are considering a move for Barcelona target Dani Olmo ahead of the summer, who has a €60 million release clause.
According to Sport Bild via Sport Witness, Manchester United are also considering a move for Dani Olmo, and should they make their move, then they will rival Barcelona for his signature. The €60 million-rated star has a release clause of the same amount, with RB Leipzig not about to reduce their demands.
Manchester United keen on Dani Olmo
Dani Olmo has had a rather unusual career path compared to many other international professionals despite making the grade through Barcelona’s famed La Masia academy. The attacking midfielder has realistically made his name at RB Leipzig, becoming one of their critical stars over the years.
Come the summer, he looks likely to leave the club for a new challenge, with options ranging from Spain to England on the horizon for the Spanish international. He has a €60 million release clause in his contract, something RB Leipzig are not about to reduce that asking price ahead of the summer.
Olmo could be a valuable option for many, with Manchester City and Barcelona already keen, and now they are joined by Manchester United in the hunt. The Red Devils are looking at essential signings ahead of the summer, with the Spaniard likely to feature relatively highly on their list.
Manchester United will have to pay the asking price for the €60 million rated, something that feels like it is in their range. However, the big problem for them is the competition, from Barcelona and some Champions League playing teams, with the Red Devils not looking likely to play a part in the competition next season.
Barcelona prioritising Olmo move
Barcelona are one of the primary contenders for Olmo ahead of the summer, with the club holding talks with his agent and father recently. The Catalans are keen to bring a player they know well from his academy days, and Olmo might consider making a return in the summer to Catalonia.
However, the road is extended for the Catalans to bring the attacking midfielder back, as they face the financial might of Premier League sides, which now includes Manchester United.
