Reports suggest Manchester United are considering a swoop for RB Leipzig and Spain forward Dani Olmo.
Olmo, 24, signed for the Bundesliga side from Dinamo Zagreb in 2020 and has totted-up 106 games for the club in that time while providing 19 goals and 22 assists. He was also a starter for his country at the recent World Cup held in Qatar where Spain were eliminated at the last-16 stage.
Domestically, the Barcelona graduate only has 18 months left to run on his Leipzig contract and could be available for around £35million. Reports from GiveMeSport indicate that the Germans could be about to cash-in with United and other potential suitors in the market for his attack-minded services.

Olmo can be deployed on either flank or through the middle. He has played 10 matches in the Bundesliga this term with one goal and two assists to show for his efforts. So far since Erik ten Hag was appointed, United have snapped up Antony and Wout Weghorst to bolster their frontline.
Elsewhere, reports from Brazilian publication O Globo claim Facundo Pellistri could leave Old Trafford this month as Flamengo close in on a loan agreement for the Uruguay international. Pellistri, 21, made his long-awaited debut only a few days ago during the Carabao Cup victory over Charlton at Old Trafford.
He made a telling impact in that game with an assist for Marcus Rashford to score. But that has not been enough to underline his quest for regular first-team action.
As per the same article, Flamengo are in advanced talks to sign Pellistri and his move could be rubber-stamped over the coming weeks. Bitter rivals Botafogo are also understood to have made an attempt to sign him.
