According to Fabrizio Romano, there is a high possibility that Manchester City will successfully recruit Dani Olmo in this summer transfer window.
Dani Olmo is flying high at EURO 2024. With 3 goals and 2 assists, Olmo is the first Spanish player to be involved in more than 5 goals at a major tournament, since David Silva did this at EURO 2012 (2 goals, 3 assists).
Coach Pep Guardiola likes Olmo not only because of his great ability to seize opportunities. Above all, he liked the intelligence in his countrymen.
The Spanish international is a versatile player who can play in many different positions from midfield to striker. He has good personal technique, good passing, great ability to observe and read the game, and extremely sharp tactical thinking.
Olmo is probably the ideal player for coach Guardiola to fill the void left by star Kevin de Bruyne when there were rumors of the Belgian midfielder going to play in Saudi Arabia. Besides, Olmo can also flexibly play well in the role of Bernardo Silva – the star who is also planning to leave Etihad to join Barca.
Olmo has a release clause in his contract with Leipzig of 60 million euros, but it will expire on the 20th – meaning there are less than 3 days left.
But according to some sources, the team currently in the Bundesliga is ready to let the Spanish player leave in this year’s summer market for a transfer fee equal to his release fee.
