FC Barcelona are on the verge of completing a major signing with the arrival of Spanish international Dani Olmo from RB Leipzig. According to renowned transfer expert Fabrizio Romano, the Catalan club are preparing a new and improved offer to secure the services of the talented midfielder.
Barcelona’s initial offer, which included €40 million fixed and another €20 million in variables, was rejected by RB Leipzig. The German club prefer a substantial payment up front rather than the staggered payments proposed by Barcelona. The Blaugrana’s initial offer involved payments spread over several years, which did not align with Leipzig’s immediate financial needs.
Despite this setback, Barcelona remain determined to bring Olmo to Camp Nou. The club’s sporting director Deco has resumed negotiations, with the aim of presenting a more attractive package that meets Leipzig’s demands. According to the latest reports, Barcelona have offered €55 million guaranteed, along with €4 million in easy-to-fulfill variables and another €3 million in more difficult variables.

Dani Olmo, who has been a standout for both club and country, is seen as a key player for Barcelona. His versatility, being able to play as an attacking midfielder or forward, would provide valuable options for manager Hansi Flick. The 26-year-old’s impressive performances at the recent Euro 2024 have only increased Barcelona’s interest in securing his signature.
Meanwhile, Barcelona are still monitoring the situation with Nico Williams, another top target. The Athletic Club winger’s decision could influence the final steps of the negotiations for Olmo. However, Barcelona’s main focus remains on completing the signing of Olmo to strengthen their squad for next season.
As the transfer window progresses, Barcelona fans are eagerly awaiting the official announcement, hoping that Dani Olmo will wear the Blaugrana colours and contribute to the club’s ambitions both domestically and in Europe.
