According to a report from MARCA, there is still a possibility that Dani Olmo could move from RB Leipzig to Barcelona.
Barcelona's sporting director Deco seems to like the player very much, and Olmo himself is said to be keen to return to Barcelona, the club where he started his career.
Deco met with representatives of Olmo and Michaël Faye at Barcelona's Sports City last Tuesday, and various topics affecting both players were discussed during the meeting, which led to the visit of agents Juanma Lopez and Andy Bara to Barcelona.
It is worth noting that this was not their first meeting, as they met about a month ago.
Barcelona are interested, but a deal won't be easy. The club has been keeping an eye on him for a long time and considers him a strong option alongside other players such as Nico Williams and Luis Diaz. Olmo currently plays for Leipzig and his contract includes a release clause of 60 million euros. However, this clause is valid until July 15th. After this date, Barcelona will have to start new negotiations with the German club.
Currently, Barcelona cannot afford to activate the release clause as they have not yet received the proceeds from the sale of 49% of Barça Studios. They would like to secure funds before the deadline, but nothing is certain and for now the deal is on hold.
A Barcelona deal would be good
Olmo is said to be a player Deco really respects for a few reasons. Olmo is also a very versatile player. He can play in any of the four attacking positions, including winger, centre-forward and midfielder. This versatility is valuable, as other forward options are often limited to specific roles. Furthermore, Olmo speaks German, and Barcelona's new manager also speaks German and knows Olmo well from his time in the Bundesliga, so this could be an advantage.
