The Spanish international Daniel Olmo has signed for the German RB Leipzig, as announced by Dinamo Zagreb coach Nenad Bjelica, the club in which the midfielder plays since the 2014/2015 season, an operation that Croatian media set at 35 million of euros.

“Dani has had several very good offers, and it has been decided by Leipzig. We believe that there he will show everything he has shown at Dinamo and that he will progress in the best way,” Bjelica said in statements published by the Croatian newspaper Sportske Novosti.

The coach said that the farewell of the player has been very emotional but that “life goes on.” “We will have to continue without him, and he without us,” added the coach, who appreciated that the German club, owned by the Red Bull beverage company, pays a lot of attention to young players and that Olmo, 21, will be able to continue Developing your future

According to 'Sportske Novosti', Dinamo will enter 35 millions in the operation, including the transfer, the premiums and future transfers of the player. That source indicates that Olmo is waiting to undergo the medical examination and that the contract with Leipzig could already be signed.

Since his arrival at the Croatian club in 2014, Olmo has played a total of 124 games, in which he scored 34 goals. With Dinamo he has won four leagues and three Croatian cups. The former Barcelona B player was elected footballer of the year in Croatia in 2018 and 2019.

The player regretted last September that Dinamo had established a price of 40 million euros for his transfer, something he considered “excessive”, and acknowledged his desire to leave the club to play in Spain, Italy, England, Germany or France.
