Man United and Liverpool 'are given five more days to trigger Dani Olmo's £55m release clause despite it expiring on Monday' - as a number of sides 'chase Spain's Euro 2024 hero'

Manchester United and Liverpool have been given an additional five days to trigger Dani Olmo's release clause, according to a report.

Olmo has been one of the stars of Euros 2024 for Spain, who are favourites to win the tournament when they take on England in the final in Berlin on Sunday evening.

He scored the winning goal against France in the semi-final on Tuesday, and has netted in all three of his side's knockout games in their perfect run to the last two in Germany.

The midfielder's performances for both club and country have sttracted interest from some of Europe's top clubs, with his reported release clause leaving the sides on red alert.

According to The Sun, his £55million release clause is set to expire on Monday, but that deadline has been extended due to Spain's run to the final of Euro 2024.

Olmo, 26, has been with RB Leipzig since 2020, joining from Dinamo Zagreb and since going onto score 29 goals in 148 appearances for the Bundesliga side.

Prior to his move to Zagreb, he had featured for both Espanyol and Barcelona in his native Spain.

But it is the Premier League that are interested in his services now, with it reported that both United and Liverpool could look to trigger his release clause in the coming days.

Bayern Munich and former side Barca are also said to be keeping tabs on the midfielder, who has worked his way into Spain's starting 11 and is set to play against England from the off on Sunday.

He has played the majority of his career as a No 10, so coudl fit into a 4-2-3-1 system under Arne Slot an Anfield, while he would compete with Bruno Fernandes at Old Trafford.

The midfielder has won three domestic titles with Leipzig, but could be set for the next step in his career after announcing himself to the continent over this summer.

He has netted three goals in total at Euro 2024, the same as Harry Kane, with the two attackers the only players left in the tournament with that number in the race to win the Golden Boot.

Deals have been accelerating in Europe once players have been knocked out of Euro 2024, with Joshua Zirkzee nearing a move to Manchester United for more than £34m after England beat the Netherlands on Wednesday.

Instead of meeting his £34m release clause, the Red Devils are set to pay £35.8m for the Netherlands international, who was pictured leaving Manchester Airport in a car after landing on Thursday night.

Despite paying £1.8m more than they have to, it means the Old Trafford can pay the fee over three years instead of in one lump sum.

United are closing in on deals for Zirkzee and Matthijs De Ligt now the Netherlands are out of the Euros.
