City faces setback as RB Leipzig rejects transfer bid for the Spaniard .
In the latest twist of the summer transfer window, RB Leipzig has made a resolute decision to reject Manchester City’s substantial transfer offer for their prized midfielder, Dani Olmo. This move shows that Leipzig really wants to keep their important player and become a top team in Europe.
Why Manchester City needs Olmo??
Manchester City, under the leadership of manager Pep Guardiola, had identified Dani Olmo as a key target to fulfill the role of Ilkay Gundogan. The Spanish international’s versatility, technical prowess, and creative flair perfectly align with Guardiola’s tactical philosophy. As a result, the English club tabled a significant transfer bid in an attempt to lure Olmo to the Premier League.
Leipzig’s Rejection
RB Leipzig director Oliver Mintzlaff has told journalist Christian Falk “Dani Olmo will be part of the Leipzig squad this season”. He further added “No matter who is interested, he’s here and he’s staying”. Manchester United are heavily interested in the Spaniard . But the Spaniard is heavily focusing on the upcoming Bundesliga season. After all this move shows the tough mentality of the Spaniard.
City’s Future Targets
Olmo is that type of player who fits the Pep’s system perfectly. But it is almost clear that the blues have to continue their season without the Spaniard. As time goes on, we will see what happens. Will Manchester City keep trying to get Olmo? Or will Leipzig’s decision stay strong?
Let’s see how do Pep fill the boots of their midfield commander Gundo. Nonetheless they have shifted their interest towards Matheus Nunes. The fact that Bernado Silva has renewed his contract and the potential arrival of Nunes keeps citizens not worried about missing out on Olmo.
