La Liga
Red Bull Leipzig stands firm on its valuation of 60 million euros for Dani Olmo, rejecting the latest offer from FC Barcelona, which consisted of 40 million euros fixed plus 20 in variables. Despite the proposal potentially increasing to 45 million fixed plus 15 in variables, the German club believes it does not reflect the true market value of the Spanish international.
Following a recent meeting with Olmo's agents, Leipzig has reiterated its initial stance. As reported by MundoDeportivo, the Bundesliga team considers the 60 million euros a fair sum, especially given Olmo's standout performance in the last Euro. Additionally, the club has extended the deadline beyond July 15 as a gesture towards the player, who renewed his contract last year under certain conditions.
The German Club's Star Player
In Leipzig, Dani Olmo is highly valued, and they believe his price is below market value compared to recent transfers, such as 19-year-old midfielder Joao Neves leaving Benfica for PSG for 70 million euros. The situation becomes more complex considering Barcelona's willingness to pay 62 million for Nico Williams, yet they only value Olmo at 40 million fixed.
Meanwhile, Olmo is determined to take a step forward in his career and seek new opportunities outside Leipzig. Although his preference seems to be Barcelona, he also has offers from other top European clubs like Bayern Munich, Manchester United, and potentially Manchester City if De Bruyne's departure is confirmed. Olmo has expressed multiple times his desire to be valued appropriately by a team.
Negotiations between Dani Olmo's representatives and Barcelona have progressed, with the Catalan club getting closer to the player's expectations by offering a six-season contract. However, the latest proposal remains insufficient for Leipzig, which is unwilling to drop a single euro from the 60 million fixed they deem fair for their star.
