Olmo - whose current contract runs through the end of next season - is reportedly set to receive a pay raise that will up his current €8 million salary. Two exit clauses are also built into the new deal. Olmo may depart for another European club for around €75 million. Should the 24-year-old wish to play in his native Spain for the first time in his career, some €60 million will be due to the German Red Bulls.
The extremely talented attacking midfielder has stormed out of the gate in the new calendar year. Olmo scored a goal collected a hat trick of assists in Leipzig's 6-1 win over FC Schalke 04 last night. The 29-times-capped international presently maintains an estimated market worth of €40 million in the latest transfermarkt listings. The new contract would probably keep him in Saxony for at least another year.
