Arne Slot, the incoming manager, has reportedly urged the Liverpool board to activate the £51.4m release clause in order to secure the signing of playmaker Dani Olmo from RB Leipzig.

 

The Spanish midfielder is also being pursued by Barcelona, but Slot is keen on bringing him to Anfield to strengthen the squad. Liverpool had previously signed Dominik Szoboszlai from RB Leipzig last summer, but the Hungarian has struggled to adapt to English football.

 

The Merseyside club had previously spent a significant amount to bring Dominik Szoboszlai from the same club last summer, but the Hungarian has struggled to adapt to English football. With Slot expected to finalize his move to Liverpool soon, he is already planning to strengthen the squad.

 

Despite interest from Barcelona, Olmo’s current contract with Leipzig includes the £51.4m release clause.

 

According to reports from Catalan media, Slot has requested the Liverpool board to pay the £51.4m release clause in order to secure the signing of Dani Olmo ahead of Barcelona.

 

Dani Olmo, a 26-year-old versatile playmaker, has the ability to excel on either wing or as a central attacking midfielder.

 

Unfortunately, he has faced numerous injury setbacks this season, resulting in him starting only 20 games across all competitions for his Bundesliga team.

 

Nevertheless, when fully fit, Olmo has proven to be a crucial player for Leipzig, directly contributing to 13 goals so far (8 goals and 5 assists).

 

Olmo, who has secured two DFB-Pokal championships and one DFL-Supercup accolade in Germany, possesses both the skill and expertise to enhance Slot’s Liverpool team.

 

The Spanish player, capped 33 times, is currently under contract with RB Leipzig until the summer of 2027. Considering this, would it be prudent for Liverpool to exercise the £51.4m clause in order to acquire Olmo for Arne Slot?
