Kevin De Bruyne's replacement?! Man City push to secure Dani Olmo deal by Tuesday as attacking midfielder prepares for Euro 2024 final

Manchester City are targeting a move for RB Leipzig star Dani Olmo and plan to pay his €60m (£51.5m/$65.5m) release clause by Tuesday.

WHAT HAPPENED?
Per Gianluca Di Marzio, City are intent on signing Olmo and are aware that his €60m release clause expires on Tuesday. Spain play England in the Euro 2024 final on Sunday evening, and the report claims that the Premier League champions plan to trigger his clause following the conclusion of the tournament.

THE BIGGER PICTURE
Olmo could well replace Kevin De Bruyne at the Etihad Stadium. The Belgium international has been heavily linked with a move to Saudi Arabia and City are said to be willing to let that transfer happen, provided they receive a fee of £50m ($64m).
DID YOU KNOW?
De Bruyne endured an injury-hit campaign in 2023/24 and was limited to just 26 appearances in all competitions. Nevertheless, he provided 24 goal involvements.
Olmo, by comparison, scored eight goals and registered five assists in 25 games for RB Leipzig. He has also scored three goals and laid on two assists in five games at Euro 2024.
