Dani Olmo was trained at Barca’s talent factory La Masia. There will be no return to Barcelona for the time being.
FC Barcelona tried late in the transfer window to get Dani Olmo back. A corresponding report by Sports world can goal and SPOX confirm. The deal failed because of RB Leipzig’s high transfer demand for the Spanish international.
For Olmo, whose contract runs until 2024, the Saxons called for a transfer fee of 75 million euros. Much too much for the financially hard-hit Blaugrana. They waved it off, even if Olmo would have liked to join them.
FC Barcelona: Another attempt at Olmo in January
The 23-year-old midfielder comes from the Barca youth and played there from 2007 to 2014. After an intermediate step at Dinamo Zagreb, he ended up in Leipzig at the beginning of 2020 for a € 22 million transfer fee. Now he was aiming to return and had already agreed on a five-year contract with Barcelona.
The interest in Olmo has not grown cold among the people in charge of Barcelona despite the canceled transfer this summer. According to Sports world they want to make another attempt in January to sign the European Championship participant.
