La Liga heavyweights Barcelona have reportedly secured an agreement with 26-year-old RB Leipzig playmaker Dani Olmo regarding a move in the summer transfer window.
According to a report by Spanish outlet Mundo Deportivo, Dani Olmo is the subject of interest from Barcelona. The Catalan giants are keen on bringing the 26-year-old back to the club in the summer transfer window after chasing his signature for a few years. And the two parties have sealed an agreement regarding a move in the coming weeks.
How has Dani Olmo fared at RB Leipzig?
Dani Olmo has made considerable progress since joining RB Leipzig from Dinamo Zagreb in January 2020 despite struggling with a few fitness issues in every season for the last four and a half years. The Spaniard has established himself as a pivotal figure for his club and country in recent campaigns.
The 26-year-old was instrumental as Spain returned to the summit of European football by winning the UEFA Euro 2024. Olmo, who has turned out nearly 150 times thus far for RB Leipzig while chipping in with 29 goals and 34 assists, also won the Golden Boot, sharing the award with five other players after finding the back of the net thrice.
Meanwhile, Dani Olmo’s long-term future at RB Leipzig is uncertain, with his exploits for his club and country capturing the attention of high-profile clubs across Europe. However, the Spanish international has been eager to rejoin Barcelona in the summer transfer window.
Barcelona return on the card?
Dani Olmo also features on Barcelona’s radar, with the Blaugrana pushing hard to re-sign him in the summer transfer window. With Ilkay Gundogan on the wrong side of 30 and approaching the twilight of his glittering career, he will only be a short-term solution for Barcelona in the middle of the park.
So, it behoves Barcelona to invest in a productive midfielder in the summer transfer window, with Olmo emerging as a viable target. The latest update brings good news for Barcelona fans, with the two parties sealing an agreement regarding a move in the summer transfer window.
However, the summer move still has time before it sees the light of day, as the Catalan giants are yet to agree on a transfer fee with RB Leipzig, although they hope to do so with their next bid. In addition, Barcelona must sell a few players before completing the deal for the 26-year-old UEFA Euro 2024 winner.
