According to a recent report from Daily Sport, German soccer club RB Leipzig have made it clear that they will not put any additional hurdles in the way of midfielder Olmo's transfer. This statement certainly gives the green light to those teams interested in Olmo, signaling that the 26-year-old Spanish international could leave Leipzig this summer to start a new chapter in his career.
Olmo's current contract with Leipzig contains a €60 million release clause, which was due to expire on July 20 at midnight local time. However, reports have suggested that this release clause could be extended if a formal offer is received before then. However, the latest news from Daily Sport suggests that Leipzig are open to Olmo's departure, recognizing his contribution to the club over the past few years and willing to give him the necessary support during the transfer process.
Olmo has been an integral part of the team since his January 2020 transfer to Leipzig from Croatia's Dinamo Zagreb for €29 million. In over four years at Leipzig, he has played 148 official matches, scoring 29 goals and dishing out 34 assists, helping the team win two German Cups and one German Supercup. His outstanding performance not only won the fans' favor, but also attracted the attention of many European giants.
Olmo has now been linked by several media outlets with top European clubs such as Barcelona, Atletico Madrid, Bayern Munich and Manchester City. All of these teams have expressed strong interest in Olmo's technical ability, game intelligence and professional attitude and are interested in bringing in the talented midfielder this summer.
With Olmo's release clause approaching and Leipzig's positive attitude, his future destination will become clear in the coming weeks. For Olmo, this is undoubtedly an important turning point in his career, and he is expected to continue to show his talent on a new platform and bring more exciting games to the fans. For Leipzig, the transfer of Olmo will give them a significant transfer fee, which will give the team a new impetus for future reinforcements and development.
