FC Barcelona seems to now point to Dani Olmo as its biggest priority of the summer, since Nico Williams still has not decided what to do and many sources suggest that the feeling is that he could stay in Bilbao. Therefore, the culés do not want to risk continuing to wait for the Navarrese, who in the end 'plants' them and that by that time the signing of the Catalan from Leipzig has become complicated or that he himself has had enough of waiting for the Blaugrana.
With the one from Terrassa everything has already been discussed and closed, as various sources have revealed this last week. The problem for Deco is reaching an agreement with the German team, which is becoming very castled with its demands. The Spanish international's exit clause was 60 million euros until a couple of weeks ago and it is just the money they want to let him go now. Those of Red Bull have a commitment to their player to facilitate his departure, but that does not mean they are willing to give up those 60 fixed 'kilos', which is the figure they consider fair.
At Barça, on the other hand, they do not want to reach that much money and so far they have made two offers lower than that amount. The first, of about 40 permanent plus 20 in variables, was quickly rejected, while the second, which according to what has been counted would be almost 50 permanent and another 10 in variables, paying this summer about 25 'kilos', and agreeing to pay the other 25 over the next few years, did not please Leipzig either. The Germans are clear that they want the 60, collecting a good part of the money this summer, and that is what is making the final agreement quite complicated.
The new offer from FC Barcelona for Olmo
For this reason, in Barcelona, according to 'ElNacional.Cat', they are going to try to convince the red and whites by offering them two players that could interest them and in this way lower Dani's price a little. The first would be Ferran Torres, who with the arrival of his compatriot and the possible signing of Nico Williams would be left without a place. The Valencian has a market value of 30 million, but at the Camp Nou they consider that his real price is 35. On the other hand, the second footballer offered would be Julián Araujo, who seems not to have the confidence of Hansi Flick after his loan at Las Palmas, and which has a value of only 8 'kilos'.
Barça's idea would be to offer both players and 10 million more euros to convince Leipzig. However, with the market values of the three in hand, the sum of the Barcelona fans' offer would be 48 million, while both the price and the market value of Olmo is 60. For the Germans to consider To accept this proposal, the Blaugrana would have to offer at least another 12 'kilos', and that only if the Red Bull team were satisfied with Ferran and Julián, something that is not at all clear. It will be necessary to see if the culés manage to convince them or if they will have to make another offer to continue negotiating.
