According to <a href="https://www.mundodeportivo.com/futbol/fc-barcelona/20240419/1002231165/operacion-dani-olmo-marcha-serio.html?utm_medium=social&amp;utm_source=twitter&amp;utm_content=futbol" target="_blank">Mundo Deportivo</a>, talks have commenced between Barcelona and the player's representatives regarding the transfer of Olmo, who is eager to depart the German side in the upcoming summer transfer window. Notably, Olmo's contract includes a €60 million release clause which allows Barcelona to bypass negotiations with the Bundesliga outfit.

WHAT HAPPENED?

A product of Barcelona's famed La Masia academy, Olmo took an unconventional career path, journeying through Dinamo Zagreb before joining RB Leipzig. Now, the possibility of a return to Camp Nou looms large for the versatile forward, signalling a potential homecoming for the promising talent.Positive discussions have already taken place, with Deco, Olmo's representatives and his father, Miquel Olmo. With an eye on expediting the transfer before the Euro Cup to preempt competition from other clubs, Barcelona are eager to wrap up business as quickly as possible.

THE BIGGER PICTURE

Olmo's versatility on the field makes him an attractive prospect for Barcelona. The forward is capable of operating across various attacking positions, including the left and right-wing and even as a false nine. The player is himself keen to make a return to his prodigal home and spearhead a new era at the Catalan club.

DID YOU KNOW?

Despite Leipzig's reluctance to lower their €60 million valuation of Olmo, there remains optimism that an agreement can be reached, given the amicable relationship between the player, his agents, and the German club. He has eight goals and five assists in 22 appearances this season across competitions and will be back in action against Heidenheim in the Bundesliga.
