On June 19th, according to Spanish newspaper Marca, Barcelona are very interested in RB Leipzig player Dani Olmo. The club’s sporting director Deco met with Olmo’s agent yesterday.
Dani Olmo is one of the targets for Barcelona to strengthen their attack. They have been following him for a long time and he is one of the options for the Catalan giants’ attack alongside Nico Williams or Luis Diaz. The Leipzig player has a €60 million release clause.
For now, Barcelona cannot afford that amount, but they are confident of being able to borrow the money to sign the Spanish international before the deadline. However, nobody is certain, so the negotiations are stalled.
Olmo is a player Deco really likes. There are several reasons why he is a good fit for Barcelona. Firstly, he trained at La Masia, so he knows the club’s style of play very well. In this sense, he could adapt quickly to the team.
Moreover, he is a very versatile player. He can play any attacking position without any problems. He can play on both wings, as well as in the center forward or midfield positions. He also speaks German, and Barcelona’s new coach, Flick, already knows him well from the Bundesliga.
Last season, Olmo played 25 matches in all competitions for RB Leipzig, scoring 8 goals and providing 5 assists.
