Euros star talks Chelsea transfer link as The Athletic, Romano remark
Euro 2024 star Dani Olmo has addressed Premier League transfer talk after Chelsea, Liverpool and Manchester City were linked with the Spaniard. The most trustworthy of sources, including The Athletic and Fabrizio Romano, have now also remarked on clubs such as the Blues holding an interest. Along with said journalists offering general information on the story.
Will Spain's talented playmaker be winging his way to Stamford Bridge? Olmo's addition would almost undoubtedly he a good one. Yet there are question marks over the west London outfit's willingness to pay his absolutely fair release clause. But not for the reason you might be considering.
Chelsea connected with potential swoop for Spain attacker
This one felt very predictable indeed. That's right, the Blues are supposedly monitoring Dani Olmo. And I'm sure the CFC fan base are very pleased with this particular claim.
The 26-year-old would also represent a much-needed move away from predominantly signing players for the future. I know Chels' have probably got themselves some real gems to develop, yet experience and proven high calibre is required at the Bridge too.
By the way, I've already seen some slightly inaccurate suggestions from major outlets and supporters comparing Kiernan Dewsbury-Hall with Olmo. Well, I'm a Leicester City fan and can confirm that Dewsbury-Hall is more of a No.8. Whereas Olmo seems most effective and comfortable as a 10.
Dani Olmo asked about transfer speculation in the midst of international tournament
Obviously this star is as focused as he should be on the task at hand. Olmo's increasingly impressive Spanish side meet an equally improving England team on Sunday. And the upcoming Euros Final is as unpredictable as it is exciting. Although, most matches of this importance end up anticlimactic.
Nevertheless, as previously stated Olmo is concentrated on victory - and seemingly nothing else at all. When quizzed on a possible move away from Bundesliga outfit RB Leipzig this summer, the outstanding attacking midfielder/forward gave nothing away whatsoever.
If I was playing that well for my country and someone suggested that superpowers like Man City, Liverpool and Chelsea admired me, I may have not been so coy. Yet Olmo appears to be very professional in his approach.
"I'm not worried. I have my people who take care of everything. I have too much to do with the Euros to think about other things. Especially now with the final ahead. I don't have anything else on my mind."

The Athletic and Fabrizio Romano talk Olmo
As always, it's wise to obtain some information about superior players from the best sources available. So, what is being said of Olmo, Blues admiration, as well as his reasonable contract clause?:
"The Blues have on occasion looked to evade release clauses too due to the need to pay the whole fee up front. They would rather pay a small amount more in order to break it down over a number of years (The Chelsea Chronicle)
- The Athletic
According to The Athletic though, the Blues will not be able to trigger his release clause, and instead if they make a move for him will actually pay more than the fee required."
"I’ve been asked about reports in England linking Olmo with Chelsea, but at the moment I’m told they are not negotiating for him. Chelsea already have Cole Palmer, Noni Madueke and then Kendry Paez and Estevao Willian to come later, so it’s not something concrete for Chelsea at this stage. But he can be an option for many other clubs."
