This is a case that is closed and Barça supporters can breathe a sigh of relief. In failure on the Nico Williams case, FC Barcelona still offers itself a European champion in the person of Dani Olmo. The Spaniard is only the 2nd recruit of the summer after Pau Victor, arrived from Girona for €3 million but he is the new attraction of the Blaugranas, the major reinforcement of this transfer window. The midfielder was officially recruited by the team managed by Hansi Flick.
“FC Barcelona and RB Leipzig have reached an agreement for the transfer of Dani Olmo. The player will sign a contract with the club for the next six seasons, until June 30, 2030, and his release clause is set at 500 million euros.“, informs the press release of the Catalan club. After long weeks of negotiations, Barça finally made RB Leipzig give in. As expected, the German club did not give any gifts.
Dani Olmo returns to Barça
After failing to bring in Nico Williams, Culés quickly made Olmo their top priority for the summer. They still had to reach an agreement with Leipzig. The team with the famous energy drink had no intention of getting in the way of this transfer, but they also did not intend to make it easier. Barça’s multiple attempts were all rejected, until the Catalan club decided to pay the requested price, which is a little over €60 million, according to our information.
It must be said that the threat embodied by Manchester City was looming, even if the Spanish international (39 caps, 11 goals) wanted to join FC Barcelona as a priority. For the 26-year-old player, it is a return through the front door, he who had this club in 2014, when he was only 16 years old. Not retained, the native of Terrassa joined Dinamo Zagreb to finish his training, and above all to explode in the first team. His performances had earned him a transfer to RB Leipzig for €30 million in 2020. Since then, his stature has radically changed.
