Dani olmo wants Manchester United move.
Manchester United have received a significant boost in their pursuit of Dani Olmo, as the RB Leipzig star is open to a Premier League move, despite Manchester City pulling out of the race for his signature, sources from footballwave have revealed.
Following the activation of a 12-month extension in Erik ten Hag’s contract, the Dutch manager has been collaborating with newly-appointed sporting director Dan Ashworth to speed up the process of bringing in new talent during the summer transfer window. Joshua Zirkzee is close to finalizing a move to Manchester United, with a £34 million deal agreed with Serie A side Bologna. However, further signings are anticipated in the coming weeks as preparations for the new season ramp up.
### Olmo’s Potential Move to Manchester United
Dani Olmo remains a target for Manchester United, with arch-rivals Manchester City no longer in contention, according to GMS sources. This potentially indicates that Kevin De Bruyne will stay at the Etihad Stadium. Olmo, currently in the running for the Euro 2024 Golden Boot with three goals, faces uncertainty about his club future for the 2024/25 season.
GMS sources confirm that Manchester United is one of Olmo’s latest suitors. This is a significant boost for ten Hag, as Olmo is open to a new challenge in the Premier League following interest from Old Trafford after his impressive performances this summer.
### Olmo’s Statistics at Euro 2024
Olmo has excelled at Euro 2024, with his statistics standing out:
– **Shots:** 3.0 (1st in squad)
– **Dribbles:** 2.8 (1st in squad)
– **Key passes:** 1.8 (5th in squad)
– **Crosses:** 0.4 (4th in squad)
– **Interceptions:** 0.4 (8th in squad)
### Other Clubs’ Interest
Chelsea is not in the running for the 26-year-old, who talkSPORT pundit Ally McCoist has described as “magnificent.” Bayern Munich is monitoring his situation, and while Barcelona has negotiated with Leipzig, they have not reached an agreement. Barcelona is focusing on Athletic Bilbao winger Nico Williams but still has Olmo on their radar despite failing to secure a £50 million deal with staggered payments.
### Ten Hag’s Approach to Olmo’s Price Tag
Manchester United has not rushed into an approach for Olmo, despite their interest. They are not concerned about Manchester City beating them to his signature, as City only planned to bid if another midfielder left. Olmo has a £52 million release clause in his Leipzig contract, expiring on July 15. However, United has been informed that his price tag will not increase if they delay their pursuit.
GMS sources indicate that Leipzig is willing to do business on the same terms until the August 30 deadline. Meeting the buyout clause before the Euro 2024 final could exclude Barcelona from the race, as they are not planning further negotiations at this stage.
Manchester City’s decision not to pursue Olmo is surprising, given his excellent form for Spain. GMS recently reported that Olmo was high on Pep Guardiola’s list of potential signings, identified as an alternative to West Ham United’s Lucas Paqueta.
In summary, Manchester United’s interest in Dani Olmo has been bolstered by Manchester City’s withdrawal from the race. With his impressive performances at Euro 2024 and willingness to move to the Premier League, Olmo could be a valuable addition to ten Hag’s squad as they prepare for the upcoming season.
