Manchester United are interested in signing Dani Olmo, however they now face heavy competition for his signature from clubs that can offer a better sporting project than the Red Devils.
Last night, we covered a story via GMS stating that the Spanish international would be willing to agree a move to Old Trafford in the summer transfer window.
Transfer: Man Utd agree £54.6million price to sign defender – Decision awaited
Now as per the latest reports coming from Germany (Die Woche via PG) Liverpool, Manchester City and Barcelona are ready to activate the release clause of €60million to sign Olmo.
The dilemma for Man Utd is that they cannot offer Champions League football and the above mentioned clubs will take part in the competition next season.
United were heading towards a complete European exclusion last season but the FA Cup victory earned them a place in the Europa League. However, will that be enough for Olmo to join them?
The 26-year-old attacking midfielder has been in red hot form for the La Roja at the European Championships.
He set up the winning goal in the last group game against Albania and found the net in the Round of 16 victory over Georgia.
Moreover, in the quarterfinals, he directly contributed in both the goals to knock hosts, Germany, out of the competition, and netted the decisive strike to eliminate Didier Deschamps’ France in the last four.
Olmo is the highest earning star at RB Leipzig and takes home around £153,000 a week. Should Man Utd try to persuade the player with a huge pay rise to move to Old Trafford?
It is a wonder given the most recent antics and escapades at Man Utd that any player with the capabilities of a player like Olmo would even consider moving there for any money – would have to be certifies!
