Transfer news and rumours LIVE: Man Utd and Man City after Olmo

RB Leipzig midfielder Dani Olmo is the subject of interest from both Manchester United and Manchester City - according to <a href="https://twitter.com/cfbayern/status/1450789361537232897" target="_blank">BILD</a>. Barcelona have also been strongly linked with the 23-year-old, but one of the Manchester sides could look to beat them to the punch when the transfer window reopens. Olmo, who began his career in Barca's La Masia academy, still has three years left to run on his contract at Leipzig, who will likely demand a hefty fee to let him go.
