Done Deal: Man United sign Most Dangerous striker in football history on a Five-Years transfer deal as player given a legendary shirt number- The fans are surprised
Manchester United remain interested in signing RB Leipzig attacking midfielder Dani Olmo this summer, according to Spanish outlet Mundo Deportivo.
The Red Devils have had the Spain international on their radar for a while, but they will face competition from Bayern Munich, Barcelona and Manchester City for him if they decide to bid.
Barca have already offered €40 million and €20m in add-ons for Olmo, but Leipzig rejected it as they want €60m without add-ons for their star player.
The ‘outstanding‘ 26-year-old shone for his country as they won the 2024 European Championship, nagging three goals and two assists in six appearances.
Man United are looking to further bolster their attacking ranks following the addition of Netherlands international forward Joshua Zirkzee
The versatile Olmo meets the criteria they want in a player in the position as he can play as a central midfielder, behind the striker, as a striker and on the right wing.
The Spaniard ended last term with eight goals and five assists in 25 appearances and has returned similar numbers in front of goal since 2016-17.
Olmo can help greatly improve the fortunes of the Red Devils on the pitch, but whether they can attract him right now remains to be seen.
Bayern, Barca and Man City are all playing in the Champions League next season and are regular challengers for the title in their respective leagues, making the prospect of joining any of them ahead of Man United more appealing.
