In a recent report, Mundo Deportivo stated that Real Madrid are among clubs hoping to sign Red Bull Leipzig playmaker Dani Olmo. It has been claimed that Los Blancos could face competition in the form of Manchester United, Manchester City, Bayern Munich and Barcelona in the race to recruit the Spanish talent.
Olmo’s Decent Numbers In German Football This Season
Olmo has produced a series of impressive performances for Leipzig on the attacking end of the field during this campaign. The Spaniard has featured in 24 matches for the German club this season, netting four goals and picking up six assists in multiple competitions.
The 24-year-old has been a decent performer in the opponent’s half based on his average of 1.9 shots, 1.3 key passes and 1.8 dribbles per 90 minutes in Bundesliga. He has even been tidy with his ball distribution after making 76.3% of his attempted passes in the German first division (stats via whoscored).
Olmo’s current deal at the German club is set to expire in the summer of 2024. Therefore, Los Blancos could land him on the cheap at the end of this campaign.
Should Real Madrid Boss Carlo Ancelotti Snap Olmo Up?
Olmo is a technically gifted footballer who has got the vision to create some decent chances in the final third. He can make a few promising runs with the ball as well and can strike the ball with power and accuracy from long range. Olmo is primarily an attacking midfielder but can also fill in as a winger on either flank if his manager tells him to do so.
We can expect Olmo to add more goals and creativity to Real Madrid head coach Carlo Ancelotti’s attack. He could even help the Madrid giants maintain their dominance in both domestic and European football.
At 24, Olmo has got his peak years ahead of him which makes him a great choice for Los Blancos to consider during this summer transfer window. He could even help bring more success to the Santiago Bernabeu Stadium, so Ancelotti would be wise to try everything he can to snap Olmo up ahead of the new campaign.
