Dani Olmo has warned his suitors they face a battle to sign him if they fail to trigger his release clause in the next few days.

The Spain forward has enhanced his burgeoning reputation over the course of the European Championship and is a leading contender to win the heading into Sunday’s final against England.

The 26-year-old has been linked with a host of heavyweight English clubs in recent months, including the likes of , and .

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.’

Spain, meanwhile, will not focus on establishing a record run of seven successive wins as they attempt to deny England Euro 2024 glory, according to OImo.

The Spanish became the first team to taste victory in six successive games at the finals on Tuesday evening when they beat France 2-1 to book their place in Sunday’s showdown with the Three Lions in Berlin.

However, Olmo and his team-mates are targeting silverware rather than records in pursuit of a fourth European crown, having missed out on a place in the final at the delayed Euro 2020 tournament to eventual winners Italy.

Asked about the possibility at a press conference on Friday, the RB Leipzig midfielder said: ‘We are only thinking about the final, not records, not the future.

‘We are 90 minutes away from winning this three years after not reaching the final. We play to win.’

Spain’s route to the final has been challenging – they have beaten Croatia, Italy, Albania, Georgia, Germany and France along the way, and should they add England’s scalp to their collection, they will have got the better of all the other European World Cup winners at a single tournament.

Olmo said: ‘This hasn’t been an easy route to the final, but to win the Euros you have to beat the best.

‘Beating Germany at home was a big achievement, as defeating England would be. But we go out with the same idea as in every game – to play our game and to win.’
