Manchester City have selected Spain international midfielder Dani Olmo as Kevin De Bruyne's successor.

"Man City is the club most interested in Olmo and is trying to complete the deal within a few days," British media "Football London" reported on the 14th, citing Italy's "Zanluca di Margio."

Olmo grew up in the FC Barcelona youth system 'La Masia', but failed to make his first team debut and headed to Dynamo Zagreb, Croatia, in July 2014. He started showing promise for Zagreb. Olmo had eight goals and six assists in 26 league matches in the 2017/18 season, and eight goals and three assists in 25 games in the 2018/19 season.

Olmo transferred to RB Leipzig in the German Bundesliga for 29 million euros (W43.5 billion) in January 2020. Olmo has become a key midfielder for Leipzig. He scored seven goals and 12 assists in 46 official matches in the 2020/21 season, and four goals and five assists in 31 matches in the 2021/22 season. Last season, he had eight goals and five assists in 25 matches despite suffering from various injuries including dislocation of the knee and collarbone joint.

Olmo is expanding his foothold in the Spanish national team as well. He became the UEFA Euro 2024 top star. Olmo contributed to Spain's victory by scoring three goals and two assists in six matches. He became the top scorer in Euro 2024 along with five players including Harry Kane (England), Cody Hakpo (The Netherlands), and Jamal Musiala (Germany).

Manchester City is aiming for Olmo. The Bruyne was in charge of Manchester City's attacking midfielder position for a long time, but his injury started to increase from last season. Rudy Galetti, a reporter specializing in the transfer market, said on Monday that The Bruyne reached an oral agreement with Saudi Arabia's Al-Ittihad.

Manchester City is keeping an eye on Olmo as the successor to The Bruyne. According to Football London, Olmo's contract has a 60-million-euro buyout clause that is valid until the 20th of this month. It remains to be seen whether Manchester City will be able to pay the buyout and bring Olmo in on time.
