Dani Olmo rules out Manchester City transfer

 Dani Olmo rules out Manchester City transfer



Dani Olmo has ruled out a move to ‘big club’ Manchester City, claiming he is perfectly happy at RB Leipzig and looking forward to the season ahead.


Dani Olmo was supposed to make his long-awaited big move out of Germany and sign for one of Spani’s elite or the top-four Premier League side in the summer. Despite plenty of speculation linking the 25-year-old Bundesliga star to many top clubs, he chose to remain at RB Leipzig.


A decision that indeed surprised many, Olmo decided to sign a new four-year contract to stay at RB Leipzig and remain committed to the cause as one of their top players. Barcelona, Real Madrid and Manchester City were all interested at some stage in the Spaniard, but he chose a different direction.


Despite signing that new contract, fresh links with Manchester City emerged in the last few days amid the situation with Lucas Paqueta. Pep Guardiola sought a new attacking midfielder to bolster his ranks and replace the departed Ilkay Gundogan.


Having signed Mateo Kovacic, the Croatian does not suit the requirement of a creative hub, something Gundogan did so expertly. Having entered a critical phase in their negotiations with West Ham, a sudden betting allegation on Paqueta may have led Manchester City to move on from talks. 

 

Naturally, for what Paqueta brought to any side, Olmo may have similar qualities, hence the links to Manchester City. However, the 25-year-old Bundesliga star has no intention of leaving Leipzig in this window, as his comments on Fabrizio Romano’s tweet suggest he’s looking forward to the season.


Olmo said, “There is nothing! I’m fully focused on the task in Leipzig, the Bundesliga, the UCL and the cup”.


“Man City are a big club — one of the biggest in the world. Josko Gvardiol] went there. But I’m happy here”.


Speaking of Josko Gvardiol, who only joined Man City recently, the two clubs must have had an excellent relationship to complete that deal. It would have given the impression that Man City may have developed a good rapport with Leipzig to get the Olmo deal over the line.


For what it is, Olmo seems determined to continue shining for Leipzig. In any case, the Bundesliga side will demand exponentially for the 25-year-old attacker if Man City wanted him at all costs. Hence, while Paqueta might have been a solid acquisition, Olmo isn’t available this summer.

Liverpool to bid, press hardest to sign £60million player

Liverpool remain heavily linked with Mali international and Crystal Palace star, Cheick Doucoure and are expected to submit a bid. According to  Football Insider , the Eagles are preparing to receive an offer from the Merseysiders, who have stepped up the interest in signing the African play breaker this summer. The London side want to hold on to their prized asset but have not completely shut the door on his departure. Chairman, Steve Parish, told  Sky Sports : “If people can make offers for your players, there’s nothing you can do about that, and we will look at those offers in light of what’s best for the club.” “Right now, it’s very, very close to the end of the window.

What does Neymar have to do with Lukaku's future? Answered

 Romelu Lukaku is still at Chelsea, despite the club and the player's mutual desire to part ways. The Belgian striker has already seen his dream collapse largely due to his own actions. Inter Milan left the race to sign him after Lukaku entered talks with their most bitter rivals Juventus. According to Nizaar Kinsella, Juve's offer is still on the table after Chelsea verbally accepted a €37m bid plus €2.5m in add-ons. The only other offer Chelsea have received is from Saudi Pro League side Al Hilal who are prepared to pay €40m for the 30-year-old. Al Hilal have just completed a mammoth €90m deal to sign Neymar from PSG. If their offer is still active, it means that they plan to build a big-name front three with Neymar, Lukaku and ex-Barcelona winger Malcom. Still, Lukaku is yet to agree to either of those offers, with Chelsea waiting for his decision.
