Man United add EUROs superstar with £50 million release clause to transfer shortlist who’s open to Old Trafford move

Man United add EUROs superstar with £50 million release clause to transfer shortlist who’s open to Old Trafford move

Man United have reportedly become the latest side to register their interest in RB Leipzig attacking midfielder Dani Olmo.

This is in line with a recent report from Football Transfers, which states that the Red Devils and Bayern Munich are setting up to pursue signing the Spain international in the summer.

He has already assisted two goals and scored three goals for La Roja. He is currently getting ready for Sunday’s championship match against Gareth Southgate’s England.

Dani Olmo and Spain, the finalists, have had a fantastic EURO campaign.

Olmo, 26, is scheduled to start for Luis de la Fuente on Sunday, but his future at the club is still far from assured.

Although the Terrassa-born playmaker still has three years left on his contract with RB Leipzig having agreed to an extension only last year, his £50 million (€60 million) release clause, which is set to expire on 20 July, is driving speculation.

Interested clubs are unlikely to trigger the midfielder’s current clause and will instead wait until the conclusion of the EUROs. However, with Erik Ten Hag’s Red Devils and Bayern Munich both in the mix, it is reasonable to suggest Olmo could be heading for a new European challenge.

For United, these reports could raise questions over the futures of Bruno Fernandes and Mason Mount — both of whom play the same role as Olmo with the former already linked with a surprise switch to Saudi Arabia (ESPN)
