Barcelona sporting director Deco flew to Germany on Monday night to <a href="https://www.goal.com/en/lists/barcelona-dealt-blow-in-dani-olmo-pursuit-with-rb-leipzig-holding-firm-on-demands-for-euro-2024-star/bltf805d45f4bfe3761" target="_blank">hold talks with RB Leipzig</a> regarding the Olmo deal. Now, according to <a href="https://x.com/FabrizioRomano/status/1820802308428435593" target="_blank">Fabrizio Romano</a>, the two clubs have verbally agreed on a transfer that will see the Catalan giants pay €55m (£46m) upfront and €7m (£5m) in add-ons. The attacking midfielder is all set to put pen to paper on a six-year contract that will be valid until 2030.

WHAT HAPPENED?

With the move on the verge of completion, Olmo will return to Camp Nou after a gap of 10 years. <a href="https://www.goal.com/en/news/dani-olmo-the-ex-barca-youth-star-who-quit-la-masia-and-could-now-return-to-camp-nou/73ch4fot6n331s2wga3gg8p0z" target="_blank">The 26-year-old graduated from La Masia in 2014</a> but never got an opportunity to play for the club's senior team. He first moved to Dinamo Zagreb before signing for RB Leipzig in 2020.

THE BIGGER PICTURE

Olmo was plagued by multiple injuries throughout the 2023-24 campaign, however, he still managed to 13 goal contributions in the 25 games he appeared in across all competitions. He then had a terrific outing in Euro 2024 as the attacker scored in three back-to-back knockout games, including against France in the semi-finals and played a stellar role in Spain lifting the title.

DID YOU KNOW?

The player will hope to complete the formalities soon so that he can join Hansi Flick's squad in time to make his competitive debut in the club's season opener against Valencia on August 17.
