RB Leipzig star Dani Olmo could leave the Red Bull Arena next summer amid links to Chelsea and several other clubs.
Fabrizio Romano recently shared on Substack that he thinks it is a possibility that Dani Olmo will leave Leipzig “next summer”.
According to Mundo Deportivo, Chelsea are one side who are interested in Olmo and the attacking midfielder has a €60m (£52m) release clause.
The same outlet claims that the likes of Barcelona, Real Madrid and Manchester City are also keen on the 25-year-old, so it will not be easy for Chelsea to sign him.
He has scored two goals and provided one assist in five Bundesliga appearances so far this season.
Chelsea do not need Dani Olmo
Olmo could be a very good signing for Chelsea. The Spaniard scores goals, creates them and is quite a versatile attacker.
He can play behind the striker and on both flanks. Honestly, in this current market, for £52m, the Leipzig man could end up being a bargain.
With all of that being said, Chelsea have just bought Cole Palmer, who is quite similar to the Spain international.
They play in similar positions and the 21-year-old is thriving at Stamford Bridge right now, with Chelsea legend Pat Nevin comparing him to Manchester City playmaker Kevin De Bruyne.
Signing Olmo could easily get in Palmer’s way, while Chelsea still also have the likes of Christopher Nkunku and Raheem Sterling.
Unless they are going to get rid of one of their current attackers, it may not make too much sense to go after Olmo. But you would not blame them for being tempted, especially with that £52m release clause in his contract.
You can never say never with Chelsea, especially of late, but we do not think Olmo needs to be a priority for the club at this moment in time.
