That’s with a move for West Ham’s Lucas Paqueta now looking unlikely.

He was in the Barcelona academy when Pep Guardiola was in charge at the Nou Camp so he is a player he knows well.

However, Leipzig do not want to sell another key man this summer.

They have already lost Josko Gvardiol to the Etihad.

Olmo, who played a key role in Leipzig ruining Harry Kane’s Bayern Munich debut last week, has a £51m release clause in his contract.

But that does not kick in until next summer.

Leipzig coach Marco Rose said: “There are too many rumours.

“At some points it`s enough.

“We lost many players in the end I need a team to play football with.

“As far as Olmo to City goes, I could say ‘never ever’ but I won’t say it.”
