Tottenham are looking ahead to the summer already and could end up signing a player who has been compared to a certain Luka Modric.
Spurs are looking to back Ange Postecoglou in the transfer market once again and there’s a chance some big money is spent.
Of course, Champions League qualification might affect things. But in the main, it looks like Ange is going to get some backing from Daniel Levy and co.
Fabrizio Romano says Tottenham in the mix to sign £51m midfielder
A number of names are likely to be linked with a move to Tottenham in the coming months.
Transfer speculation is always rife at Spurs and the summer window is no different and arguably even bigger than the January one.
And speaking to GiveMeSport, Fabrizio Romano has suggested that RB Leipzig midfielder, Dani Olmo, is a player Tottenham could end up signing.
“Yes, there’s a chance, but at the moment, I’m told that he’s still in initial meetings with his agents around Europe. He’s also not in advanced negotiations or talks because he has a release clause in his contract worth around €60m (£51m), so the price is already there,” Romano said.
“We know that Leipzig don’t like to negotiate usually. You have to pay the clause or nothing, like what happened, for example, with Dominik Szoboszlai at Liverpool last summer. So, I think they’re already all well-informed about the situation of Olmo, but at the moment, I’m not aware of anything advanced in terms of contacts.”
Dani Olmo compared to Luka Modric as Tottenham look for new blood
Naturally, if the name of Luka Modric is popping up, Spurs fans are going to take notice.
And Dani Olmo has had a kind comparison to the Real Madrid midfielder.
In comments from the Bundesliga.com website, Olmo has been compared to the Croatian star for his style of play.
‘Olmo is seen as one of the most talented players in Spain’s current crop of midfield maestros,’ they wrote in 2023.Yet just like Real Madrid serial winner Modric, Olmo – who speaks fluent Croatian – was once a firm favourite at Dinamo Zagreb and he stands out for his superb technical ability’, they write.
‘Like Modric, Olmo’s close control is also mesmerising to watch, and makes him decidedly difficult to play against. He couples that ability with his will to drive the ball at goal, be that when in possession or with threaded through-passes Added to his exceptional ability on the ball – on display with his second of the night in Leipzig’s recent Supercup win – Olmo also has a taste for a long-range strike at the target should space open up.’
Olmo has had another good season in Germany, scoring eight goals. He can play centrally, but is also adept out wide which could well appeal to Ange Postecoglou.
