Barcelona and Leipzig agree on €75 million deal for Spanish star – report

In an interesting, and shocking turn of events, Barcelona and RB Leipzig have reportedly agreed on a €75 million transfer for Dani Olmo, who will join on a five-year deal, according to Mundo Deportivo.

This news, if true, is especially surprising because Barcelona did not have enough money to be able to register Lionel Messi in their La Liga team, and had to ask Gerard Pique, Sergio Busquets, and Jordi Alba to take massive pay-cuts to be able to register their new signings.

This could be possible, though, if Barcelona are able to offload Antoine Griezmann with Atletico Madrid extremely interested. It would free up space in the squad and wage bill, allowing them to sign Olmo.

There has been news in the last few days about how Ronald Koeman has asked the club for a forward, but Olmo barely fits the billing despite his versatility.

That said, this news has been denied by Sky Germany’s Max Bielefeld, who says that there is no chance that Olmo changes club, or that Leipzig allow him to leave on deadline day.

The two clubs have, however, agreed on a transfer for Ilaix Moriba, who joins on a €16 million transfer for five years.
