The FC Barcelona board seems determined to go after Dani Olmo as soon as the signing of Nico Williams closes. Although the negotiation with RB Leipzig will not be easy, the culés are confident of being able to incorporate the player from Terrassa without a high investment
The FC Barcelona has in Dani Elm to one of his main aims for the market estival. The big performance of the of Terrassa in the Eurocopa has dissipated the doubts on his signing, further of the initial insistence of the directive in trying retain to Joao Félix and the wish of Hansi Flick to ask an effort to go to by Joshua Kimmich. By present and talent, the mediapunta of the RB Leipzig seems to have the necessary to turn into the piece that, beside Nico Williams, explode all the offensive power blaugrana in the 2024/25.
The Barça already had contemplated the return of Elm so much in 2022 as in 2023, but the club attended other priorities in accordance with his adjusted 'Fair Play'. The reality this summer is not very different in the financial, although the directive trusts can return to the rule 1/1 to be able to fichar once invoice the corresponding to his new agreement with Nike and the resale of Barça Studios. Although Dani renewed with the Leipzig until 2027, his clause of rescission keeps on being affordable, another key factor to negotiate his traspaso.
The Barça has clear how amortise the signing of Dani Elm
In this sense, the formula of the Barça to negotiate with the German group aims to two roads to cover the 60 million euros of his clause: the payments on hire purchase (crediting an initial that do not surpass the 30 'kilos' this summer), and try go down the total cost of the operation through variables in accordance with the performance of the footballer. In principle, the agreement of the player of 26 years would be by six seasons, until June of 2030, with a near wage to the 12 'kilos' gross.
As they aim the last informations on the future of Elm, the Leipzig will try to close his sale by the net of his clause, a mount that Manchester City, United and Bayern Munich seem had to credit this summer. From here that the decision of the player was key to the moment to define his next destination. In principle, the idea to return to Barcelona a decade after his exit of The Masia course to Croatia for reencontrarse with varied of his mates of the Selection seems the wisest option.
Elm has to put of his part to go out of the Leipzig
Like this the things, Dani also has to do an effort presionando to the Leipzig so that it finish accepting the proposal blaugrana. To his 26 years, the one of Terrassa knows that it is in the ideal moment to give the definite jump to the elite and there is not better place to do it that the club of his life. After having renewed his agreement in 2023, descartando go out free this summer, the mediapunta has won the right to decide his destination with the 'ok' of the Germans.
The signing of Dani Elm can sentence several exits in the Barça
When treating of a versatile player (can play until in six different positions), is likely that the signing of Dani Elm sentence at least two important exits in the group blaugrana. In principle, the first 'sacrificed' would be Ansu Fati and Vitor Roque, two players that, independently of the arrival of the Catalan, have very complicated his future after the imminent incorporation of Nico Williams.
Another that can see reduced his leadership of remarkable form is Raphinha. The Brazilian would be the first alternative regarding extremes by both bands, but the need of the Barça to do box plants him like one of the footballers with better market for the culés. The own sucede with Frenkie of Jong, but the Dutch is a more valuable piece for the club because of his defensive vocation.
