Manchester United is on the move in the transfer market! They have their sights set on Euro 2024 champion Dani Olmo, and they're not holding back. The 26-year-old midfielder was a standout player in the recent tournament, appearing in six out of seven games and helping Spain claim their fourth European Championship title.
It's no surprise that Olmo has caught the attention of some of the biggest clubs in Europe, including Barcelona, Manchester City, Chelsea, Liverpool, Arsenal, and Bayern Munich. But Manchester United has also expressed interest in signing him, and according to reports, they have made a "forceful" move to secure his signature.
The Red Devils have already made two summer signings, Dutch forward Joshua Zirkzee and French defender Leny Yoro, but they're not done yet. They want to strengthen their squad even further before the new season begins under the guidance of manager Erik ten Hag.
One potential obstacle for Manchester United could be Barcelona, who are also interested in Olmo. However, the Spanish giants are currently focused on signing Olmo's teammate Nico Williams, who scored in the Euro 2024 final against England. Olmo has a release clause of €60m, but it can only be activated before July 20.
Since joining RB Leipzig from Dinamo Zagreb in 2020, Olmo has made 148 appearances for the German club and helped them win two domestic trophies. But despite the speculation surrounding his future, Olmo has remained focused on the Euros and warned potential suitors that they will have to meet his release clause if they want to sign him.
In his own words, "My people know what I want to do… I have too much to do with the Euros to be thinking about other things. I have a contract with Leipzig, and we have a great relationship. There will be no problem. My 60 million clause until July 20? You know what you have to do. If not, you'll have to fight a little later."
Manchester United have already completed two signings this summer, but they have their sights set on more. They recently confirmed the signing of Lille defender Leny Yoro, who had been linked with top clubs like Real Madrid, PSG, and Liverpool. Yoro expressed his excitement about joining a club with such a rich history and ambitious plans for the future.
"Signing for a club with the stature and ambition of Manchester United so early in my career is an incredible honor," said Yoro. "Since my first conversations with the club, they set out a clear plan for how I can develop in Manchester as part of this exciting project, and showed a lot of care for me and my family. I know about the history of young players at Manchester United and feel it can be the perfect place to reach my potential and achieve my ambitions, together with my new teammates. I cannot wait to get started."
As Manchester United continues to make moves in the transfer market, fans are eagerly awaiting more news and updates. Will they be able to secure the signature of Dani Olmo? Only time will tell, but one thing is for sure – the Red Devils are determined to strengthen their squad and compete for trophies in the upcoming season.
