Barcelona have forgotten all about Nico Williams and are now swooping for Dani Olmo. The club consider the arrival of the RB Leipzig striker a given, despite the German club’s reluctance to let him go.
Barcelona are looking for their first big signing of the 2024-25 season. The closest one seemed to be Nico Williams, but the days went by and he moved away. Now, the objective is to sign Dani Olmo.
‘Mundo Deportivo’ explains that the Catalan club are sure that Dani Olmo will be a Barcelona player before 31st August, when the market closes.
The Spanish international’s agents plan to travel to Germany to try to convince RB Leipzig, who for the moment do not want to hear about Dani Olmo’s departure.
The intention of the ‘Cules’ was to close the first incorporation of the summer in the USA pre-season tour, where on Saturday they managed to beat Real Madrid in a new ‘Clasico’ of summer.
Barcelona’s latest offer, for the moment, is 50 million euros, which could go up to 60 million euros, precisely what the German side are asking for to let him leave.
It is, according to the source, a considerable improvement on the first proposal, as Barcelona put on the table not to pay one euro until 1st January 2025.
