Dani Olmo is on the Blaugrana radar. As AS has learned, Barcelona’s technical secretariat considers him to be a very important player to add to the reconstruction project that Xavi Hernández has started at the head of the entity. However, His landing will take a long time, since the club has other priorities right now when building the team. That does not mean that Leipzig has not been tested on the possibility of signing the Spanish international this summer, but the economic claims of the German club, which is asking for 60 million, make him an ‘untouchable’ piece right now.
The midfielder, from the Barcelona academy, has been in contact with the Blaugrana club for some time in search of the best setting to return home. Xavi’s presence on the bench has provided extra motivation for the player, but he is also aware that his contractual situation, with a contract until 2024, leaves little room for manoeuvre.
Hence, the plans of the Blaugrana entity go through letting another year run and undertaking his signing for the summer of 2023, when he only has one year left on his contractso Leipzig will have to make it easier for him to leave, if he doesn’t want to see how he leaves for free a year later.
The return of Dani Olmo to Barcelona would be yet another success for Xavi Hernández’s project, who would have a new player from the house and who knows the Blaugrana DNA perfectly to complete a devastating midfield, with Pedri as a great emblem
