While Real Madrid got their hands on Endrick and Kylian Mbappé and Atlético Madrid will welcome Julian Alvarez, FC Barcelona has not really made any progress on its recruitment. The Culés were also dealt a blow when they learned that Nico Williams would continue to play in Bilbao in 2024-25. The Camp Nou residents hoped not to suffer the same fate in the Dani Olmo case.
It’s no secret that FC Barcelona wants to recruit the Spanish international, who had a great Euro in Germany with La Roja. The lights were green for him since the midfielder quickly wanted to join Catalonia. This, despite the interest of Manchester City. But the game was far from won for FCB. If RB Leipzig opened the door to its player for services rendered, it also specified that it would not sell him off.
Dani Olmo arrives at Barça
Bad news for the Barcelonans, who are in financial difficulty. Despite everything, Joan Laporta’s club offered €47 million, as well as €13 million, of which €3 million was easily achievable. The Germans’ response was negative. Faced with their firmness, the Culés decided to accelerate this Tuesday. Indeed, a decisive meeting was held between the Leipzig leaders, the Olmo clan and the Barça sporting director, Deco.
And the outcome was positive. According to our information, the two European teams have finally agreed on the transfer of the Spaniard. The amount of the operation will be more than €60 million. For his part, Dani Olmo will sign a long-term lease since he will be tied to the Barcelonans until June 2030. A great end to this transfer so eagerly awaited by Barça and Hans-Dieter Flick.
