Although last summer he renewed his contract with the German entity until 2027, the versatile forward insisted and managed to get the termination clause of 60 million euros, a high number, but not prohibitive for big clubs, like of Barça and others who are interested. , as Real Madrid, Manchester City and Atlético. At the time of signing he was not thinking about leaving in 2024, when he will be 26 years old, which is on May 7, but various events and circumstances led him to think about the change of scenery. Along with this information from MD, Sports Bild publish that Dani Olmo He is clear that his destination should be Barça and added that during the international national team break, the manager and sports director Rouven Schröder (47) have analyzed the issue after the dismissal of the coach Max Eberl and the lawyer Felix Kruger: In the summer he would open the door for her by clause. However, as MD learned, the player doesn’t close any doors and Barça need to get things squared away first.
This is the fifth season of Dani Olmo in Leipzig, a Bundesliga club he joined in 2019 after leaving Barça at the age of 16 in 2014 to grow early in professional football, specifically in Dynamo Zagreb Croatian. He has had some disagreements with his current club, who have been slow to reward his exceptional performance with a contract equal to the highest fee in the squad, something that was rectified in the renewal last summer. He celebrated this in August by giving the German Super Cup Leipzig with an amazing hat-trick against Bayern (0-3). And in the 2023-24 Bundesliga he added two goals in the three days he was able to play before he was injured on September 8 with a problem with his right knee in Georgia-Spain (1-7), a match in which he scored a goal. He will reappear after the national team break.

The player himself will consider an offer from the Barça club, where he played as a child between 2007 and 2014, if it happens, although logically he will wait for other offers. Real Madrid, Atlético and Manchester City They are the most interested. The white club wants to strengthen the squad with players from the Spanish team like him to balance a squad with a large majority of foreigners, the rojiblanco is always on his agenda because of how attractive he is Simeon and City wants to start easing most of its veteran players.
Barça, in fact, is permanently attentive to the situation of Dani Olmobut he has to calculate how much money he has in the summer considering that now there is a higher priority: strengthening the midfielder with an alternative to Oriol Romeu. This past summer it only invested 3.4 million. And, in addition, he also has to pay Manchester City and Atlético João Cancelo (25) and João Felix (80) if they wish to keep them after their respective transfers.
