Brilliant midfielder tells Chelsea to pay his £52M release clause!

Spanish midfielder has told the likes of Chelsea that they must meet his £52 million asking price if a transfer deal will get done this transfer window.

The 25-year-old Spain international is continuing to excel at Red Bull Leipzig and has a clause that becomes active this summer when he can leave for £52million.

Olmo signed a new contract last June which runs until 2027 but the clause means a number of suitors are now assessing whether he could fit into their plans for the summer.

Manchester City, Man United and Tottenham are also among the clubs who continue to keep an eye on Olmo’s progress, particularly with his ability to play on either flank or off the striker.

It is no secret that CHELSEA FC will be in need of adding to that squad over the next few months as the current side will not be good enough to compete for that Champions League spots next season.

Olmo’s current contract contains a £52 million release clause but that is due to expire on July 20: ‘My people know what I want to do… I have too much to do with the Euros to be thinking about other things,’ he said. ‘I have a contract with Leipzig and we have a very good relationship. There will be no problem.

‘My 60 million clause until July 20? You know what you have to do,’ he said. ‘If not, you’ll have to fight a little later.’

There are some big names chasing the young man – he really is a quality player that is just about to come into his prime – it would be a wise decision from Chelsea to get a deal done.

£52 million is not alot of money to spend on a player these days in football – and considering CHELSEA are missing someone like Olmo in that side – there is easily some space for him to shine.
