Barcelona told to pay up! Dani Olmo bonuses demanded by Leipzig as cash-strapped club scramble to sign Nico Williams amid registration fears

RB Leipzig can apparently look forward to a windfall worth millions. According to Bild, Barcelona are being forced to make a payment for last summer's transfer of Olmo. The report explains that the Catalans must transfer €2.8m to the Bundesliga club because negotiated bonuses are due.

Barca paid a reported €55m for the 27-year-old's services around a year ago, before Olmo's eligibility to play ended in chaos. Nonetheless, the attacking midfielder contributed 10 goals and four assists in 25 league games, playing a decisive role in winning the title. According to Bild, the bonus payment could not be the last. If Olmo meets further criteria for coach Hansi Flick's team, another €4.2m would be added.

Meanwhile, Barca's financial situation is anything but easy due to the Olmo money. According to reports, the club is currently working flat out to secure the signing of their most desired transfer target this summer, Nico Williams. However, he wants a guarantee that he will not face a similar disaster to Olmo when registering for competitive matches. As a result, Bayern Munich are also said to be lying in wait. The Athletic Club winger is also considered the ideal solution in Munich.

La Liga president Javier Tebas reportedly informed Barcelona president Joan Laporta that they have returned to the 1:1 rule, despite the former repeatedly reiterating how the Catalans are incapable of registering Williams. As things stand, the Liga champions are expected to trigger the 22-year-old's release clause this month.
