Dani Olmo, a midfielder for RB Leipzig who has been compared to Luka Modric of Real Madrid, has reportedly caught the attention of Arsenal, who are looking to sign him.
The Gunners now boast a roster full of talented players, but there is always room for improvement, isn’t there? In recent days, rumors have circulated that Mikel Arteta’s side is interested in a number of players, one of which is Olmo, who may provide an intriguing alternative for Arsenal. Arsenal are interested in signing Dani Olmo, who has been compared to Luka Modric. According to Mundo Deportivo, Arsenal and Barcelona are both interested in purchasing the rights to sign Dani Olmo, whose current contract reportedly includes a release clause worth £52 million.
The 25-year-old forward has been outstanding for RB Leipzig so far this season, as he has contributed five goals and an assist in just four matches played for the club. The ability to adjust to new situations is one of Olmo’s defining characteristics. The versatility of the Spaniard, who can play on either wing and also in the middle of the field, is perhaps what piqued Arteta’s interest in him.
Only nine weeks ago, the official website of the Bundesliga published an article that made comparisons between Olmo and a younger version of Luka Modric. They said things like, “Plays like a young Luka Modric,” while describing him. It is common knowledge that Olmo is one of the most skilled midfield maestros now playing in Spain.Olmo, who is fluent in Croatian, used to be a fan favorite at Dinamo Zagreb, and he stands out for his excellent technical talents, much like Luka Modric, who has won multiple awards for Real Madrid. Olmo speaks fluent Croatian.
“The current Leipzig schemer’s skills were demonstrated with a brilliantly taken goal against Costa Rica in Spain’s opening game at the 2022 FIFA World Cup” “La Roja’s 100th in the competition” “The current Leipzig schemer’s goal against Costa Rica in Spain’s opening game at the 2022 FIFA World Cup”The close control that Olmo possesses, similar to that of Modric’s, is mesmerizing to watch and makes him a frightening opponent to face. Is his presence even necessary for the Gunners? No matter how talented Dani Olmo is, in our opinion Arsenal does not require his services.
Martin Odegaard, Kai Havertz, Fabio Vieira, Leandro Trossard, Gabriel Martinelli, and Emile Smith Rowe are all fantastic players, and the Gunners already have the depth to fill his position with the players they have. Smith Rowe, in particular, has the potential to be even better than Olmo, and it would be in Arsenal’s best interest to give him more opportunities rather than spend more than £50 million on the top player for RB Leipzig. It will be interesting to see what Arsenal does in January, but we don’t see them making a move for Olmo or anyone else of his caliber. Whatever they do, it will be exciting.
