thinking about the future In the shadow of the Negira affair and FIFA’s official announcement of the opening of an investigation, it was reported in ‘Mundo Deportivo’ today (Sunday) that Barcelona asked the midfielder of the Spanish national team and X ‘La Masia’, Dani Olmo, not to extend his contract at Red Bull Leipzig so that they could join him for free at the end of his contract – Summer 2024.
According to the report, Barcelona knew that Olmo was negotiating with RB Leipzig regarding the extension of his contract, so during the World Cup in Qatar they organized a meeting between members of the Barca staff, including Xavi himself, and people close to the footballer in Doha. They showed him their desire to sign him and praised his games in the World Cup, but also explained to him the difficult financial situation the team is going through.
In addition, it is written that Real Madrid and Bayern Munich are also interested in signing the midfielder and are willing to pay 40 million euros for him. Mathieu Allman and Barcelona agreed to pay the mentioned amount in the summer of 2021, but in the end it did not materialize and Barca bought Fran Torres from Manchester City for €55 million in the following winter window.
