Barcelona’s pursuit of Dani Olmo is heating up as the club prepares a fresh bid to bring the 26-year-old playmaker back to Spain. With Olmo’s impressive performances at RB Leipzig and his stellar showing at UEFA Euro 2024, where he won the Golden Boot, Barcelona are keen to bolster their creative ranks.

Olmo, a product of La Masia, has flourished in the Bundesliga, despite fitness issues. His record of 29 goals and 34 assists in nearly 150 appearances for RB Leipzig highlights his impact. His potential return to Barcelona are driven by the need to rejuvenate their midfield, especially with Ilkay Gundogan nearing the end of his career.

Personal terms between Olmo and Barcelona seem settled, but the challenge lies in meeting RB Leipzig’s valuation, especially after his release clause expired. As the summer transfer window’s final month approaches, Barcelona’s improved bid could be decisive in securing Olmo’s services. The coming weeks will reveal whether this move materialises, marking a significant addition to the Catalan giants’ squad.
