Dani Olmo's £50 million release clause at RB Leipzig is anticipated to be activated before its expiration next Monday. The 26-year-old attacking midfielder has been a standout performer for Spain in Euro 2024, scoring three goals and providing two assists, propelling La Roja to the final in Berlin this Sunday, where they will face either England or the Netherlands.
Olmo scored the decisive goal in Munich last Tuesday night, leading Spain to a 2-1 victory over France in the semi-finals, giving the three-time champions another chance for glory. This could be a hectic yet unforgettable few days for Olmo, who is also expected to gain clarity regarding his future at the club level. Mirror Football reports that clubs from both the Premier League and Spain are circling as the deadline approaches, following months of background discussions.
While Chelsea values the player and is reported to have engaged in discussions with Olmo's agents, sources close to the Blues indicate they are not actively pursuing a deal. Similarly, Liverpool is also deemed unlikely to bid for the forward, despite contrary reports in Spain.
Olmo leads the goal-scoring charts at the European Championships, and Leipzig is set to negotiate firmly if interest in Olmo persists past his release clause deadline. In such a scenario, they would demand between £60 million and £70 million, underscoring the urgency for any club wishing to secure the former Dinamo Zagreb player to act swiftly. Last year, Olmo signed a new long-term deal with Leipzig, extending until the summer of 2027, which puts the club in a strong position to raise the price after Monday.
Dani Olmo has been in top form at Euro 2024.
He recently discussed his future in an interview with Mundo Deportivo, stating, "I am calm and focused on what lies ahead, which is the Euro."
