He was the only recruit of the summer. Facing significant financial difficulties, Barça first tried to bring in Nico Williams, the nugget from Athletic Club particularly close to Lamine Yamal. But the demands of the Basques being too high, the Blaugrana finally abandoned this track to concentrate on the other priority of the summer, Dani Olm. And after several days of negotiations with RB Leipzig, the Spanish international returned to where he started his career.
Olmo for 47 million
But for what amount? The Spanish press announced more than 50 million euros. Today, club president Joan Laporta was keen to speak on this subject by making the price official: “The transfer of Dani Olmo cost us 47 million euros fixed,” he said. For its part, the daily Sports World claims that there are bonuses if Olmo plays more than 60% of matches this season, without specifying the amount of these, but it should be around 50 million euros.
