Real Madrid, Bayern Munich tracking long-term Barcelona transfer target – Romano
Real Madrid are among the clubs tracking the situation of RB Leipzig attacking midfielder Dani Olmo, according to transfer expert Fabrizio Romano. The Spanish international can also count FC Barcelona and Bayern Munich among his admirers.
Olmo is entering the final year of his contract at RB Leipzig this summer and has reportedly rejected an offer from the Bundesliga outfit. It has seemingly alerted top clubs across the globe.
Barcelona have been long-time admirers of Olmo, which is not a surprise considering that the 24-year-old spent time at their academy before moving to Dinamo Zagreb.
Real Madrid, too, are understood to be tracking the versatile Spanish ace who is capable of playing in any position in the final third and operating as an interior midfielder as well.
Reports in the recent past had suggested that Olmo would be open to a move to Real Madrid despite his past allegiances with Barcelona.
Any transfer could end up costing around €30 million, although Leipzig are still hoping to renew his contract and have sent in an offer again.
With Marco Asensio likely to renew and Brahim Diaz expected to return to the club after his loan spell at AC Milan, it would certainly be interesting to see how Real Madrid would fit Olmo in the squad for next season.
Although his ability to play through the middle could see him emerge as a possible backup option for Karim Benzema.
Either way, there is nothing concrete at this stage and Real Madrid are just tracking his situation at RB Leipzig, along with Bayern Munich. Only time will tell whether it materialises into anything substantial over the coming months or not.

Real Madrid identify €60m-rated Brighton defender as potential 2027 transfer target – report
Real Madrid are keeping tabs on Brighton & Hove Albion defender Luka Vuskovic as they assess options to strengthen their defence ahead of the 2027 transfer windows.
According to Bernabeu Digital, the Croatian centre-back is among the players under consideration as Los Blancos plan for a potential defensive overhaul in the summer of 2027.
The interest comes as Real Madrid prepare for possible departures at centre-back.
On that note, Raul Asencio could be moved on, while Antonio Rudiger is expected to leave when his contract expires.
The club therefore wants to recruit at least one high-quality defender to reinforce the squad for the long term.
Vuskovic, whose market value, as per Transfermarkt, is estimated €60 million, is attracting attention from several major European clubs, although Brighton are understood to have no intention of selling the 19-year-old.
Luka Vuskovic emerges as Real Madrid transfer target
According to Bernabeu Digital, Real Madrid are monitoring Vuskovic as they search for a centre-back capable of strengthening their defensive options.
The Croatian has also attracted interest from Liverpool and Manchester United, while Tottenham are also keeping track of a player they sold last summer.
Understandably so, the competition for his signature could make any potential deal difficult, particularly with Brighton reluctant to part ways with the defender.
At Real Madrid, they are assessing several candidates, with their priority being to identify players who can provide quality and long-term stability.
Real Madrid consider two centre-back signings for 2027
As such, Real Madrid are reportedly exploring the possibility of bringing in two centre-backs across the upcoming transfer windows.
Vuskovic is one potential option, while Alessandro Bastoni remains another name associated with the club’s defensive plans.
Bastoni was a target for Real Madrid last summer, and despite failing to land the Italian, his profile continues to fit the type of reinforcement being considered.
Notably, the potential exits of Asencio and Rudiger would leave Madrid needing fresh depth and experience at centre-back, and recruiting early could help the club avoid entering a transfer window without a clear succession plan.
