Declaration of 'war' against Barça? Leipzig remains 'inflexible' with the departure of Dani Olmo

FC Barcelona continues to work hard to ensure that Dani Olmo's operation comes to fruition. The Spanish midfielder would have become the priority of the Barça entity and would already have a personal agreement with the club, which would make him a Barça player for six seasons, until 2030. Once this objective was met, the Catalans prepared to negotiate with RB Leipzig the transfer of the player, but they have proven to be a 'tough nut to crack'.

And the Red Bulls have rejected the two offers made by the Catalan institution. The first of them was 40 million fixed euros plus 20 in variables, to be paid in installments of 10 'kilos' for four years starting January 1, 2025, while the second went to almost 50 fixed (47+3 by matches played by the footballer) plus 10 in bonuses for future titles achieved, paying a first payment of around 25 million this September and the rest in installments.

However, Leipzig insists on not letting the player leave at any price. The Germans demand 60 million euros for his transfer, and although the Catalans' proposals reach this amount in the long term, the truth is that the Germans hope to receive the largest possible amount up front to assume the signing of a guaranteed substitute. for Olmo. This has been made known by the club's sporting director, Rouven Schröder, in various statements in recent days, and this Saturday he once again made the German team's position clear in an interview with 'Sports1'.

"Of course we know that other clubs are interested. But the fact is that we will not give up a player like Dani Olmo at any price," began by highlighting Schröder, who continued his appearance by adding that "Olmo left his mark on the tournament and wrote many positive headlines. We are happy to still have him in the team; from now on he will return next week and strengthen our team again."

Doesn't close the exit door

However, and despite the inflexible claims of the entity, the sports director did not close the door to the possible departure of the Egarense."The transfer window has still been open for about four weeks, so far there has been very little movement, only nuances. It may happen that there is a real push again, but we have not set a deadline," he said, concluding by assuring that " "We are relaxed and preparing in case the worst happens. At the end of the day, that's our job."
