Manchester United have shown interest in signing RB Leipzig attacker Dani Olmo. The Spanish international is currently among the most talented attackers in Europe.
Olmo joined RB Leipzig from Dinamo Zagreb in the 2020 summer transfer window. He has made 106 appearances (in all competitions) for the Bulls so far, recording 19 goals and 22 assists.
The 24-year-old attacker turned heads with his performances at the 2022 FIFA World Cup. He played four games in Qatar, registering one goal and one assist.
According to a Nacional report, Manchester United would have made an approach to sign the RB Leipzig attacker, Dani Olmo. They are set to compete against Bayern Munich, Real Madrid and AC Milan to secure their services.

Olmo is valued at 40 million euros by TransfrMarket. His contract at Red Bull Arena is due to expire in June 2024. Manchester City manager Pep Guardiola previously applauded Olmo, saying: “He is a great player, he has a bright future, of course. … The point is that he is an incredible player, and I am pretty sure that he can play in the strong leagues in Europe.”
Erik ten Hag is eager to add a new attacker to his squad following the departure of Cristiano Ronaldo. The Portugal international left Old Trafford after his relationship with management soared in November.
Victor Osimhen, Moussa Dembele and Ben Brereton Diaz have also been linked with a move to Old Trafford in recent weeks. Meanwhile, Manchester United have also shown interest in signing Cody Gakpo ahead of his move to Liverpool last week.
Manchester United in talks to sign Jack Butland
According to the Telegraph, Manchester United are interested in signing Crystal Palace goalkeeper Jack Butland. Erik ten Hag wants the 29-year-old to stand in for David de Gea.
Butland has struggled to establish himself at Selhurst Park since arriving from Stoke City in the summer 2020 window. He has played just 17 games (in all competitions) for the Eagles so far, recording three clean sheets.

His contract at Selhurst Park will expire at the end of the current season. The Eagles could look to cash in on him this month rather than letting him go on a free transfer next summer.
