According to Spanish publication Sport, Barcelona have finally solidified their plan to acquire RB Leipzig midfielder Dani Olmo. Following the expiration of the player’s release clause, Barcelona are confident in securing him at a relatively lower price. Given the player’s preference, Leipzig have prioritized negotiations with Barcelona.
Reports suggest Olmo received a prior commitment from Leipzig that they would allow him to leave if a suitable offer arrived this summer. While other clubs, including Premier League giants Arsenal, are vying for the Spanish international, Olmo’s first choice is to play for Barcelona. With the player’s desire on their side, Barcelona waited for Olmo’s €60 million release clause to expire before taking action, believing they can slightly reduce the final price tag. Barcelona will offer a transfer fee that includes fixed and variable amounts, reaching €60 million in total. This is a more feasible deal, potentially satisfying all parties involved in the negotiation.
Barcelona and Leipzig will begin exploring the path to a deal next week. For Barcelona, it is crucial to be able to pay the agreed fixed amount within a timeframe that makes the club comfortable, as they will have to make a more financially demanding effort for Nico Williams. Regardless, the coming weeks will be crucial for Barcelona during this transfer window.
