Manchester United have reportedly tabled an offer for RB Leipzig and Spain star Dani Olmo.
The winger was one of Spain's bright sparks at a wholly disappointing 2022 World Cup for La Roja, prompting increased speculation around his club future.
And according to Spanish outlet Nacional (via Football365), United have made an approach to bring Olmo to Old Trafford.
However, United could face stiff competition for Olmo's signature, with the report adding that Leipzig's Bundesliga rivals Bayern Munich have also submitted an offer.
Such a move may well tempt the 24-year-old as it would allow him to reunite with former boss Julian Nagelsmann, who left Leipzig for Bayern in 2021.
Olmo's career has followed a rather unorthodox trajectory so far: having spent seven years in Barcelona's famed La Masia youth set-up, he surprisingly left for Dinamo Zagreb at the age of 16.
He made his professional debut three months before his 17th birthday and made 124 appearances for the Croatian outfit, before joining Leipzig this time three years ago.
Erik ten Hag has openly admitted that United are "looking for better" in the January transfer window, and Olmo – who Transfermarkt currently value at just over £35m – would bolster their attacking options.
Olmo started all four of Spain's games at the World Cup, scoring their first goal of the tournament in the 7-0 thrashing of Costa Rica.

At the other end of the pitch, United have been linked with Yann Sommer and Jack Butland as potential replacements for Martin Dubravka, who has returned to parent club Newcastle.
Meanwhile, Erik ten Hag has made winning trophies with his 'professional New Year's resolution' for 2023; United haven't claimed any silverware since the League Cup and Europa League under Jose Mourinho some six years ago.
