Liverpool ready to beat Manchester United for Arne Slot's 'dream' signing

Liverpool are ready to trigger the release clause for Spanish star Dani Olmo

According to TeamTalk, Premier League giants Liverpool are set to fire the opening salvo ahead of Manchester United in the race to land RB Leipzig star Dani Olmo in the ongoing summer transfer window.

The Spanish international has been a pivotal part of his nation’s runup to the Euro 2024 final, where they will face England later tonight. While the eyes of those in England will be on the Three Lions, there will be a few of them in Liverpool keeping close tabs on the 26-year-old donning the number 10 jersey for Spain.

Olmo’s standout performances at Euro 2024 have only heightened interest in him. With three goals and two assists, he has been instrumental in Spain’s journey to the final. His contributions have placed him in contention for both the Golden Ball and Golden Boot awards at the tournament. This form has put clubs like Liverpool, Manchester United, Manchester City, Barcelona, and Chelsea on high alert.

Liverpool are ready to trigger the release clause for Spanish star Dani Olmo.

Manchester United emerged as strong contenders for Olmo, especially after both Man City and Chelsea dropped out of the race. However, Liverpool have now stepped in, ready to activate Olmo’s £50 million release clause, a price considered fantastic value for a player of his calibre. This clause in his Leipzig contract offers an affordable pathway for Liverpool to bolster their midfield.

Barcelona have also shown interest in Olmo, considering a double deal for him and his Spain teammate Nico Williams. Yet, financial constraints might delay Barca’s move, leaving Liverpool and United as the primary competitors. Notably, Fabrizio Romano reported that due to the Euro 2024 final, Olmo’s release clause deadline has been extended, providing clubs a crucial window to finalize personal terms.

Olmo’s potential arrival at Anfield would be a significant boost for Liverpool boss Arne Slot. Olmo’s creativity and forward-thinking play style would complement Liverpool’s existing attacking talents like Luis Diaz, Cody Gakpo, and Darwin Nunez.

Slot envisions Olmo pairing with Alexis Mac Allister and Dominic Szoboszlai, forming a dynamic and potent midfield trio. Olmo’s ability to find space and his knack for late runs into the box would add a much-needed goalscoring threat from midfield.

Securing Dani Olmo would be a masterstroke for Liverpool. His technical skills, combined with his versatility and experience, would significantly enhance Liverpool’s midfield. The competition from Manchester United adds an exciting twist, but Liverpool’s readiness to meet the release clause shows their intent.

Olmo’s addition could be pivotal in Arne Slot’s plans, potentially transforming Liverpool into a more formidable force in both domestic and European competitions. As the transfer window heats up, all eyes will be on whether Liverpool can clinch his dream signing.
