New goals despite economic restrictions
The Barcelona Football Club, facing significant financial limitations, is embarking on a new stage in the signing market with the aim of building a competitive squad. Under the direction of Hansi Flick, Barça aims to return the enthusiasm to its fans and fight for all the trophies. Despite the difficult financial situation, the president of the club, Joan Laporta, has reached an agreement with a player for the next six seasons, in an operation that amounts to an initial 30 million euros plus 25 million in variables.
The desired contract for Dani Olmo
Dani Olmo, key to Spain’s victory in their fourth European Championship with an outstanding 3-goal performance, is in Barça’s sights this summer. According to Mundo Deportivo, the official offer from the Barcelona team has already reached the representatives of the Leipzig midfielder, offering a contract for six seasons.
Details of the Barcelona offer
Barça has proposed to Dani Olmo an agreement that includes a total compensation, between fixed and variable, of close to 60 million euros, an amount that coincides with the player’s termination clause at Leipzig. This offer would allow Barça to secure the services of the talented Spanish footballer.
Olmo’s positive reaction
During the celebration of his campus in Terrassa, Dani Olmo expressed the desire to be notified by any club interested in signing him. Barça reacted quickly, presenting an offer similar to those proposed to other stars such as Robert Lewandowski and İlkay Gündoğan. The proposal envisages lower salaries during the first two seasons, to comply with LaLiga’s financial ‘fair play’ rules, with a salary improvement from the third year.
Competition for the signing of Olmo
Although Dani Olmo sees Barça’s offer with good eyes, he must also consider proposals from other renowned clubs such as Manchester City, Bayern Munich, Liverpool, Manchester United, and Atlético de Madrid. Both the player and his representatives have managed to get Leipzig to retain his €60m release clause for a few more weeks while they explore all options.
The future of Olmo, in the hands of Leipzig
The next few days will be crucial for Dani Olmo, as both the player and his advisers and his family will analyze the various proposals to determine the best way forward. However, the final decision will fall on Leipzig, who will have the last word in this operation of great relevance for the future of the Spanish midfielder.
