According to reports, 26-year-old RB Leipzig playmaker Dani Olmo and La Liga powerhouse Barcelona have reached an agreement for a summer transfer.
Barcelona is reportedly interested in Dani Olmo, according to a report by the Spanish publication Mundo Deportivo. After pursuing his signing for a few years, the Catalan giants are eager to welcome the 26-year-old back to the team during the summer transfer window. Additionally, the two sides have finalized their agreement to relocate in the upcoming weeks.
What is the status of Dani Olmo at RB Leipzig?
Dani Olmo has struggled with a few fitness concerns in every season for the last four and a half years, but he has made significant progress since joining RB Leipzig from Dinamo Zagreb in January 2020. In recent campaigns, the Spaniard has proven to be a crucial member of both his club and his nation.
The 26-year-old played a key role in helping Spain win the UEFA Euro 2024 and vault back to the top of the European football rankings. Olmo, who has played for RB Leipzig for almost 150 games so far, has contributed 29 goals and 34 assists. He has also scored three goals, which has earned him a share of the Golden Boot trophy with five other players.
Dani Olmo’s long-term future at RB Leipzig is currently in doubt since prominent European teams are taking notice of his achievements for both his club and his nation. The Spanish international has, meanwhile, been itching to return to Barcelona throughout the summer transfer window.
Barcelona’s comeback on the scorecard?
Barcelona is also keeping a close eye on Dani Olmo, and they plan to re-sign him during the summer transfer window. Ilkay Gundogan will only be a temporary fix for Barcelona in the center of the park because he is getting close to the end of his illustrious career and is over thirty.
Olmo has emerged as a potential target, therefore Barcelona has to make an investment in a productive midfield player during the summer transfer window. Fans of Barcelona should rejoice that an agreement has been reached between the two sides to move during the summer transfer window.
Though they want to do so with their next proposal, the Catalan giants have yet to agree on a transfer fee with RB Leipzig, so there is still time before the summer move is implemented. Barcelona also needs to offload a few players before finalizing the acquisition of the 26-year-old UEFA Euro 2024 victor.
