Olmo joined Dinamo Zagreb in Croatia after leaving La Masia and Catalonia in 2014 before moving to the Bundesliga four years ago.

Possible Takeover Battle for Dani Olmo
At 26, Dani Olmo may trigger quite a bidding frenzy after the final, given that his £50 million release clause is due to expire on Monday.

According to Mirror, interest in Olmo has moved to a new level as Arsenal, Manchester City, and Liverpool show their interest in the young talent.
Olmo commented on the transfer to RB Leipzig in an interview with Mundo Deportivo: “I received offers from Spain, Italy and England. RB Leipzig was the most active.
The sporting director came to Zagreb to see me, and the coach said that he really wanted me to be on the team. I did not receive similar attention from any other club.
Barcelona And Future Prospect
Barcelona also showed interest in Olmo when he was in Croatia as well. He remembered, “Barcelona contacted my agents in November becoming more and more insistent day by day but they kept postponing for one or another reason .
In January they told me to wait and by that time I was sure about Leipzig”, “I wanted to be in a team with a clear present and future project and Leipzig is just that.
