According to the Mirror, Spanish international and Red Bull Leipzig midfielder Daniel
Olmo
The player's contract contains a £50 million (€59.16 million) release clause that expires on July 15, next Monday. A number of Premier League and La Liga clubs are reportedly watching the situation closely and are interested in triggering the clause before the deadline to secure the signing of the talented attacking midfielder.
Sources have revealed that it is widely expected that a club will make a move before the release clause expires. Chelsea are thought to be one of the Premier League sides showing strong interest in Olmo, while Liverpool are unlikely to be involved in the battle.
If the timing of triggering the release clause is missed, potential buyers will have to open negotiations with Leipzig for a transfer fee. In that case, Leipzig could demand a transfer fee of up to £60-70 million, highlighting the urgency for any team interested in signing Olmo to act quickly. It's worth noting that Olmo renewed his contract with Leipzig last year, with a new deal set to run until June 2027, meaning Leipzig will have more bargaining space to boost the transfer price once the release clause expires.
Olmo, 26, is a versatile player capable of playing as a winger and midfielder. He made 25 appearances for Leipzig last season, contributing eight goals and five assists, showing great athleticism. According to the German transfer market website, his price is valued at €50 million, which is in line with his release clause.
With the deadline for release clauses approaching, it will be interesting to see if the giants will compete fiercely for the right to sign Olmo, which will be the next big thing to watch in the transfer market.
