Barcelona consider signing 23-year-old Bundesliga star ‘next to impossible’

The current international break is a special one for Barcelona because of the representation it has received with the Spanish national team.

Five Blaugrana players are in Luis Enrique’s dynamics in Jordi Alba, Pedri, Gavi, Ferran Torres and Eric Garcia. Including Sergio Busquets, the Catalans have six players in the starting XI for La Roja.

However, the number could increase further. Xavi likes Dani Olmo, and the player is on the club’s wishlist for the upcoming window.

But according to reports from SPORT, RB Leipzig are reluctant to sell their star player. Olmo’s contract at the German club runs until 2024, and it would require an astronomical offer for them to consider parting ways with him.

Since his move away from Barcelona at a young age, the winger has gone from strength to strength. He enjoyed a good spell at Dinamo Zagreb before moving to Leipzig, where he has five goal contributions this season.

Most recently, he scored a last gasp winner for La Roja against Albania yesterday.

The player is now 23 years old and is looking for the next big step in his career. A move away this summer seems complicated, but the Germans will be forced to negotiate a year later, given that he will be in the final year of his contract.

With the signing of Olmo almost ruled out, Xavi and Laporta are now considering the option of Raphinha from Leeds United. The club is said to have reached an agreement with the Brazilian and is waiting to see the Premier League side’s situation before finalizing the transfer fee.
