The appearance of the Euro champion midfielder in the transfer market this summer did not cause much of a stir, although even Olmo has said that he is willing to leave, and the 60 million euro liquidated damages clause is in effect for all teams, but there is still no team to pay this liquidated damages. According to Fabrizio Romano, Olmo's liquidated damages clause has not been agreed with any team before it expires, and other clubs can still communicate with Leipzig to complete the deal for the same amount of transfer fee.
Leipzig have always been very clear about Olmo, as long as the team is willing to pay enough liquidated damages, the Spain midfielder can leave the team at any time, and Olmo is willing to take the bigger stage to show his quality. After the liquidated damages clause was exposed, the two giant clubs that had the most contact with Olmo were Barcelona and Manchester City, Olmo was born in Barcelona's academy, and the tactical systems of Manchester City and Barcelona also have the same flavor, which are very suitable for the integration of players, but neither Manchester City nor Barcelona paid this transfer fee to complete the transaction.
At the European Championship, Olmo has already shown his attacking prowess up front, both organising and shooting, and joining any team has the potential to improve the team. However, Olmo's shortcomings are just as obvious. First of all, Olmo is a core type of player with the ball, and he will be more dangerous when he has the ball at his feet, whether in Leipzig or Spain, Olmo has a lot of opportunities on the field, but Barcelona and Manchester City have very good players in the front, and there will not be much space for Olmo.
Secondly, Olmo's physical condition is lacking, even in the Bundesliga, Olmo's attendance efficiency is not too high, and the number of games that can start each season is very limited, which is unqualified data for the ball-holding core of the giant team. It may not be objective to use Manchester City's De Bruyne as a reference, but as the core of the team's attack, if you can't guarantee your playing time and efficiency, even if Olmo's ability is enough, it is difficult to say that the team will not be affected for a season.
Last but not least, although the performance at the European Championship was very impressive, and the attendance was also guaranteed. However, it must also be admitted that the nature of the cup cannot judge the full strength of a player, and Olmo's Bundesliga schedule in the past few seasons has fluctuated significantly, and it is difficult to maintain the form of a whole season, which is why Barcelona and Manchester City are more hesitant. If Leipzig is willing to sell at a reduced price in the future, Barcelona still has the opportunity to sign, but it is still very difficult to join Manchester City.
