While FC Barcelona continue to push for Nico Williams to agree to leave Athletic Club this summer, the Catalan side have also worked on signing Dani Olmo. The player from Terrassa wants to return to the club he left at 16 to go to Dinamo Zagreb, and the Catalans seem to have moved in the right direction to make this a possible situation.
A few days ago the Catalan club offered 40 million euros fixed divided into four instalments of 10 million each, plus another 20 million in variables to end up reaching the price of the exit clause that the player had with RB Leipzig. However, there was no agreement, as the Germans want to collect a significant amount of the transfer this summer in cash, something that the Catalans did not contemplate in their first offer.
However, according to the latest information, what has been confirmed is that the agreement with the player is complete. Deco has already agreed his new contract with Dani Olmo, who has agreed to the amounts offered by FC Barcelona. The Spanish international is eager to arrive and has already preferred to accept the offer from Barcelona rather than that of Bayern, who have also made efforts to convince him.
The Barça is going in the correct direction with Dani Elm
The information indicates that the sporting management, headed by Deco, believes that an agreement will be reached with Leipzig. Although the last one was rejected by the German team, in the next few days it is expected that the Catalan team could make a new proposal, especially because the club is in total harmony with Dani.
Now clearly the agreement remains with a Leipzig that understands the great market value of Olmo after his great Euro Cup, so it believes that Barça would have to make a significant effort for him. Barça is not giving up and will seek to improve the offer for the Catalan player, especially in the event that the arrival of Nico is completely ruled out. Dani, although he has a different style of play, could assume that role of starting left winger for Hansi Flick's team.
Despite having clearly different characteristics, Olmo can offer a very interesting talent for that position, which right now does not seem to have a clear owner at Barça, being also an option for the midfield, as a more offensive midfielder, especially given Pedri's injury at the start of the season. The 26-year-old player has surely made a financial effort to be able to accept the Barça proposal, knowing that it is the project that generates the most excitement for him.
