FC Barcelona does not give in to pressure from Leipzig for Dani Olmo

FC Barcelona maintains full confidence in the signing of Dani Olmo. Despite the obstacles in the negotiation that RB Leipzig has put in place, the club clings to the verbal agreement with the midfielder to close the transfer in the coming days, beyond the pressure from the German team to retain its star. Marco Rose's men have not yet responded to the latest Barça offer for the player from Terrassa, but that does not mean that negotiations have stalled.

According to the latest information, the footballer's agents will travel to Leipzig this week to unblock the operation, making clear his client's position on leaving for Barça this summer. Dani renewed last year until 2027 to avoid leaving at 'zero cost' this summer, a gesture that the German board appreciated by keeping the price of his clause at 60 million euros. Although this amount was valid until July 20, Olmo hopes to have the club's 'ok' to return to Catalonia, since his decision is firm and he has already said yes to the culé board.

In that sense, Barça does not want to delay the negotiations either, since Olmo must report to RB Leipzig's preseason next Thursday, August 8, and Joan Laporta wants to prevent the midfielder from having to spend several days training on his own until he is resolve the transfer. In principle, Barça offered 40 million fixed plus 20 'kilos' in variables, a proposal that the 'blanquirroja' board rejected almost immediately.

The last Barcelona offer improved to €50M fixed and €10M extra in variables, but Leipzig wants to secure the net amount of the clause with immediate effect to let their star go. Another aspect that the Barça board must resolve soon has to do with Dani's registration, considering that the club has not yet received approval from LaLiga to sign under the 1/1 rule and there are still several players from the squad yet to join the roster. official of the competition.
