Signing Report: Manchester City agree £51million star, but rival are particularly keen
Published at : October 23, 2021
Manchester City are now rivalling Manchester United in the race to sign RB Leipzig playmaker Dani Olmo, though Barcelona want to re-sign him.
That’s according to Sport Bild, who claim that United have taken a particular interest having scouted him regularly this season.
Olmo is also on City’s radar too though, with Pep Guardiola seemingly keen to bring his compatriot to the Etihad Stadium.
Barcelona – who let Olmo leave for Dinamo Zagreb in 2014 – want Olmo back, and are preparing a new €60million (£51million) bid in January having failed with a summer move.
Atletico Madrid fancy Olmo too, but he has only played two league games this season.
The 23-year-old is clearly a talented attacking midfielder, and he can even play in from the left flank if needed.
Olmo’s style of play suits City’s approach to the ground. He’s technically excellent, very creative, a real goal threat.
