Man City have asked RB Leipzig for information on Dani Olmo, sources have told Football Insider.

The current Premier League champions have watched the Spaniard closely for the last two years and are now intensifying their pursuit.

The German outfit are asking for £50.6million for the attacking midfielder should they decide to sell him this summer.

Olmo joined Leipzig in 2020, and his contract expires in 2027, which gives them some negotiating power should discussions advance.

The Blues looked into the possibility of signing the Spain international last summer, but Leipzig were reluctant to sell him after losing Christopher Nkunku, Dominik Szoboszlai, and Josko Gvardiol.

Man City regularly scouting Dani Olmo

City are not short of attacking flair in wide positions but there are doubts over the futures of not only Jack Grealish and Bernardo Silva but also kingpin Kevin De Bruyne.

Olmo featured 25 times in all competitions for Leipzig last season and, despite dealing with several injuries, scored eight goals and creating six assists.

Man City

City could be in the market for a winger due to the possibility of Grealish leaving the club this summer.

Football Insider previously reported that the Englishman could leave the Blues to seek more regular first-team football after his playing time was diminished last season.

In other news, England international is “very unhappy” at Man City.
