Amid his series of impressive performances at the Euro 2024, some Premier League outfits and Spanish clubs have reportedly expressed their interest in signing Olmo, and are understood to have held discussions with Olmo’s current club RB Leipzig.

Spanish attacking midfielder Dani Olmo has reportedly appeared on the radar of some top European clubs. The 26-year-old has been in sensational form in the ongoing Euro 2024. He has netted three goals and provided two assists, guiding Spain to the final of the competition. Olmo, who has featured in Spain’s all six matches, seems to have become more dangerous in the knockout stage of the tournament. He broke the deadlock in the quarter-final against Germany and scored another goal in the semi-final against France. Amid his series of impressive performances at the Euro 2024, some Premier League outfits and Spanish clubs have reportedly expressed their interest in signing Olmo. These teams are understood to have held discussions with Olmo’s current club RB Leipzig over the past few months. The 26-year-old has a release clause of £50 million with the German outfit.

According to a Daily Mirror report, Olmo’s release clause will expire on July 15. The Spaniard agreed on a long-term contract extension with RB Leipzig last year. As per the new deal, he is scheduled to stay at the club till the summer of 2027.

It means following his release clause deadline, RB Leipzig has the option to increase Olmo’s asking price, which they can keep between £60 million and £70 million, claimed a report published by Mirror.

Olmo, who is with the Spanish national team in Germany, now wants to put his entire focus on the European Championship. Recently, during an interview with Mundo Deportivo, as per Mirror, Olmo said, “I am calm and focused on what is coming, which is the Euro, which is no small thing. It is clear that it is good to see your name related to great teams in Europe and the world, that motivates me, but I am focused on the Euro and I hope we can return with the trophy. Then we’ll see.”

Having represented RB Leipzig 148 times so far, Olmo has found the back of the net 29 times. Olmo will return to action when Spain take on last edition’s runners-up England in the Euro 2024 final in Belin.
