Decidedly, the Manchester City transfer window is moving up a gear. After taking on a Croatian accent following the arrivals of Mateo Kovacic then Josko Gvardiol, the English club has made progress on two new arrivals since the files Lucas Paqueta (West Ham) and Jérémy Doku (Stade Rennais) are making good progress. Two players who would do good if they arrive at the Mancunians who lost a few executives this summer. Riyad Mahrez left for Al-Ahli while Ilkay Gündogan went to FC Barcelona. In addition, Aymeric Laporte and João Cancelo could also pack up.
In this context and despite greater confidence in youngsters Cole Palmer and James McAtee, another attacking reinforcement would be welcome, especially since Kevin De Bruyne is currently injured until the end of 2023. Thus, Manchester City continues to work a long time track. Already targeted in 2019 when he was at Dinamo Zagreb but also at the end of 2021 when he shone with RB Leipzig, Dani Olmo is once again linked to Sky Blues. According to information from Sky Sports ItaliaManchester City are still hot on the 25-year-old attacking midfielder.
Between €80m and €100m for Dani Olmo
Versatile is able to play as number 10 as well as on the entire front of the attack, Dani Olmo remains on a full season (5 goals and 11 offerings in 31 matches) and started the season strong with a hat-trick in the German Supercup against Bayern Munich (3-0). The Spanish international (31 caps, 6 goals) corresponds perfectly to the software put in place by Pep Guardiola but the file promises to be complicated for this summer. Indeed, the player extended two months ago until June 2027.
Nothing prohibitive, because he has always proclaimed his desire to take an additional step and a release clause of 55 million euros is included in his contract. However, it will only be active from the summer of 2024. Wanting to keep its player for at least one more season, RB Leipzig will not give Manchester City a gift. However, the media adds that an offer between 80 and 100 million euros could change the situation. If the file is complicated, Manchester City has initiated a new interesting track.
