Real Madrid are apparently keeping a close eye on the status of 24-year-old Spanish playmaker Dani Olmo at Bundesliga club RB Leipzig.
According to the Spanish newspaper Defensa Central, Real Madrid is interested in signing Dani Olmo during the summer transfer window of 2023. For a long period, the Merengues have been keeping a careful eye on his status at Bundesliga club RB Leipzig.
Dani Olmo began his youth career with Barcelona before moving on to Dinamo Zagreb to continue his professional career. The Spaniard's choice was carefully thought out, as he grew in stature with the Croatian club before transferring to the Bundesliga with RB Leipzig in January 2020.
In the previous 30 months, the 24-year-old has made significant growth, tallying 16 goals and 17 assists in 90 games. And Olmo's development has piqued the interest of numerous high-profile European teams, with Real Madrid keeping a close eye on his position at the Red Bull Arena.
As the veteran Croatian midfielder nears the end of his career, Real Madrid will need to devise a succession plan for him in the following season. Modric will reach 37 later this year, which means the Spanish giants will ultimately have to phase him out as a starter.
Furthermore, Toni Kroos is nearing the end of his career and may opt to retire early, according to reports. Several creative midfielders, notably Jude Bellingham, have therefore surfaced as probable targets for Real Madrid in the summer transfer window next year, with Olmo being a realistic option.
Olmo has apparently been on Real Madrid's radar for a long time, and the club has been closely following his position for months, according to the source. The Spanish giants might launch a bid for the 24-year-old in 2023 when he has one year left on his contract with RB Leipzig.
Olmo is likely to quit the Bundesliga club next summer if he does not agree to a new deal by the end of the 2022/23 season. However, Real Madrid may face heavy competition from Barcelona in the race to capture Olmo, with the Blaugrana also mulling a move for the 24-year-old in 2023.
