FC Barcelona are reportedly willing to pay Leipzig star Dani Olmo‘s €60 million release clause despite the club’s financial struggles, sparking wild reactions from fans. The club aims to sign the Spanish forward after his brilliant Euro campaign.
The Blaugrana are pushing hard to sign the 26-year-old star from RB Leipzig this summer. They have reportedly offered him a lucrative six-year contract and are willing to meet his substantial release clause, which is set to expire soon. Dani Olmo‘s impressive performance at the Euros, where he scored 3 goals and helped Spain win the title, has drawn significant interest. Barcelona might be in the lead to secure his signing.
Questions have arisen about how Barcelona can afford to sign Olmo, given their recent financial troubles and debts ranging from €400 to €500 million. Recent reports suggest the club might consider selling a key player to finance his signing. Additionally, the La Masia graduate has shown interest in returning to Spain, with a decision expected soon. Besides the 26-year-old forward, the club is also targeting another Spanish starlet, Nico Williams.

If the club signs both players, they aim to reunite Spain’s Euro 2024 title-winning trio of Lamine Yamal, Williams, and Olmo. Additionally, Olmo has received offers from Manchester City, Bayern, Liverpool, and Manchester United.
