Dani Olmo is getting closer to Barça. Nico Williams' operation is 'frozen' and the Blaugranas have decided to put all their efforts into the Egarense, with whom they would already have a contractual agreement
Dani Olmo has become FC Barcelona's priority in this transfer market. Nico Williams was the main objective of the Barça entity, but his operation was 'frozen' after doubts took over a Navarrese player who seems to be closer than ever to continuing in the ranks of Athletic Club de Bilbao. For this reason, the Catalans are betting on the Egarense and have put all their efforts into completing his incorporation.
The agreement with the youngest Williams seemed to be on track, but finally the Catalan institution has opted for an Egarense who is 'crazy' to wear the Barça shirt. The midfielder has 'passed' on offers from other big clubs such as Bayern Munich and Manchester City to give priority to the Blaugranas, who have accelerated in recent hours to close his contract as soon as possible.
From the offices of the Spotify Camp Nou they are preparing a proposal that would be around 60 million euros, a figure at which his termination clause was valued before the payment period expired. RB Leipzig maintains this requirement although it will be 'flexible' with the payment structure, which would be one of the conditions that would be missing to make Olmo's return to Barcelona official.
In the same way, the Barcelona institution must reach an agreement with the Red Bulls regarding the fees and variables, which would be close to 7 million euros with a fixed payment of '55 kilos'. Both parties are close to 'shaking hands', which makes it clear that the culés' commitment to Dani is total and that Nico's options are increasingly reduced.
He will sign a six-year contract
Dani Olmo will land, almost certainly, with a contract that will link him to the Blaugrana entity for six seasons. The figures being handled in the negotiations are still unknown, but the truth is that the midfielder will belong to the club, in principle until 2030. It remains to be seen what role he will have in Hansi Flick's scheme, but everything indicates that he will be the undisputed starter and Some footballer among the Pedri, Gündogan or Raphinha will be the 'sacrificed' to make room for the Egarense in the starting eleven.
