Barcelona’s pursuit of Dani Olmo has significantly intensified, with crucial developments anticipated within the next 24 hours. The Catalan club has shifted its focus to securing Olmo's services from RB Leipzig after abandoning their interest in signing Nico Williams this summer.
Despite having two previous offers rejected by Leipzig, Barcelona remains hopeful of finalizing a deal during an important meeting scheduled for Tuesday. According to Football Espana, Olmo and his agents are expected to hold critical discussions with Leipzig on Tuesday. Barcelona’s sporting director, Deco, will also be present for these talks.
Olmo has already agreed to personal terms with Barcelona, so the primary obstacle remaining is negotiating the transfer fee with RB Leipzig. A source close to the negotiations revealed, “Olmo is eager to return to Barcelona, and personal terms are already settled. It’s now about finding common ground on the transfer fee.”
This week could be pivotal for Barcelona, not only in their pursuit of Olmo but also regarding their interest in Athletic Club’s Nico Williams. Williams is expected to make a decision on his future soon, adding another layer of urgency to Barcelona’s transfer activities.
