Spanish international Olmo is anxiously awaiting the next step in his career and hopes to have his future clear by August 9, according to a new report by Roger Torelló of Mundo Deportivo. The 26-year-old midfielder has become the target of a number of Europe's top giants, including Barcelona, Bayern Munich and Manchester City, all of whom have shown strong interest in the player, thanks to his outstanding performance.
Olmo's contract with Bundesliga rivals Red Bull Leipzig, where he currently plays, includes a release clause of up to 60 million euros, which has doubled his value in the transfer market. However, for Olmo, he is more concerned about being able to identify his new employer before the start of the upcoming season, so that he can fully concentrate on his new soccer journey.
Olmo shone in this summer's Euro, he represented the Spanish national team to make 6 appearances, not only scored 3 key goals, but also contributed 2 assists, becoming an important contributor on the way of the Matador Army to win the championship. It is with his outstanding performance in the Euro, Olmo's transfer price further soared, and became a hot figure in the transfer market.
According to Roger Torelló, the reason why Olmo is in a hurry to finalize his future before August 9 is because that is the day he must report back to Red Bull Leipzig. Faced with the dual pressures of the upcoming transfer deadline and reporting back to the club, Olmo clearly wants to get his transfer sorted out as soon as possible so that he can get stuck into the new season with peace of mind.
