The Red Devils have had the Spain international on their radar for a while, but they will face competition from Bayern Munich, Barcelona and Manchester City for him if they decide to bid.

Barca have already offered €40 million and €20m in add-ons for Olmo, but Leipzig rejected it as they want €60m without add-ons for their star player.

The ‘outstanding‘ 26-year-old shone for his country as they won the 2024 European Championship, nagging three goals and two assists in six appearances.

Man United are looking to further bolster their attacking ranks following the addition of Netherlands international forward Joshua Zirkzee

The versatile Olmo meets the criteria they want in a player in the position as he can play as a central midfielder, behind the striker, as a striker and on the right wing.

The Spaniard ended last term with eight goals and five assists in 25 appearances and has returned similar numbers in front of goal since 2016-17.
