RB Leipzig midfielder Dani Olmo has addressed his future at the club, highlighting the importance of his €60 million release clause, which is valid until 20 July. Speaking to @ellarguero, Olmo stated, “Clause until July 20? Yes, if clubs want me, they know what they can do… There’s time until July 20 for the clause otherwise later it’d be tough negotiations!”
Contract and Ambitions
Olmo, who is currently under contract with RB Leipzig, expressed his desire to win titles with the club. The 26-year-old Spanish international has been a key player for Leipzig since joining from Dinamo Zagreb in January 2020. Known for his versatility and playmaking abilities, Olmo has attracted interest from several top European clubs.
Release Clause Details
The €60 million release clause in Olmo’s contract has been a topic of discussion in recent months. Initially reported on 27 March 2024, the clause allows interested clubs to secure his services by meeting the specified amount before the deadline. As the deadline approaches, speculation about his potential departure has intensified.
Recent Developments
Recent reports have reiterated the impending expiration of Olmo’s release clause. On 25 June 2024, it was confirmed that the clause would be valid until 15 July, later extended to 20 July. This extension provides a narrow window for clubs to act if they wish to sign the talented midfielder without entering into protracted negotiations with Leipzig.
Olmo’s comments underscore the urgency for interested parties to make their move before the deadline, after which negotiations are expected to become more complex.
