Barcelona ready to meet Dani Olmo asking price after having 'insulting' opening bid knocked back by RB Leipzig

After seemingly missing out on signing Nico Williams from Athletic Club, Barcelona are now determined to land another Spain international Dani Olmo from RB Leipzig this summer. Per Sport, Blaugrana sporting director Deco has already submitted a second bid worth €50m (£42m) fixed + €15m (£12m) after their initial offer was deemed 'insulting' by the German club.

The Catalan side's present offer is higher than Leipzig's asking price for the player which is set at €60m (£50m) and therefore they remain confident that a deal will be agreed upon very soon so that the attacking midfielder can join Hansi Flick's squad before the start of the upcoming 2024/25 campaign.

The Catalan giants also believe that a personal agreement with the player will be reached very soon as Olmo will be glad to return to the club he had left 10 years ago as a teenager.

Flick's men will play two more pre-season friendlies in their United States tour against Real Madrid and AC Milan on August 3 and August 6, respectively before returning to Spain.
