RB Leipzig is reportedly in a struggle to retain Dani Olmo this summer, as Barcelona, Real Madrid, and Manchester United express interest in acquiring him.
Despite injury setbacks during the 2023-24 season, the 25-year-old forward has showcased his prowess with seven goals and four assists in 19 appearances across all competitions.
Although Olmo extended his contract with Leipzig until June 2027 last June, rumors abound regarding his potential departure, with several prominent clubs vying for his signature.
A report suggests Barcelona is actively pursuing the re-signing of the Spain international, expressing confidence in their financial capacity to secure the deal despite off-the-field challenges.
While Olmo is reportedly open to a Camp Nou return, Real Madrid and Manchester United are also competing for his services, with Manchester City monitoring the situation closely.

Olmo represented Barcelona as a youth player between 2007 and 2014, but he left the club in 2014 to sign for Dinamo Zagreb at the age of 16.
The forward went on to make 124 appearances for the Croatian outfit, scoring 34 goals and registering 28 assists in the process.
Olmo then made the move to Leipzig in 2020, and he has turned out on 142 occasions for the German team, scoring 28 goals and registering 33 assists in the process.
The versatile attacker is also very much a part of the Spain set-up at international level, playing 32 times for La Roja, scoring seven goals and registering seven assists.
Olmo is currently with the Spain squad preparing for friendlies with Colombia and Brazil, with Luis de la Fuente’s side facing the former at West Ham United‘s London Stadium on Friday night.
The forward has helped Leipzig win their last three Bundesliga matches, playing the full 90 minutes of the 5-1 success over FC Koln last time out.
Olmo’s current contract is said to include a release clause of €60m (£51.5m), which is unlikely to put off interested clubs.
The Spaniard is capable of operating in a number of different positions in the final third of the field, but he has largely featured off the right for Leipzig since returning from injury at the start of the year.
