Barcelona Secures Dani Olmo in €60 Million Deal
The whispers finally became reality. Dani Olmo, a hero of Spain’s Euro 2020 triumph, is officially joining Barcelona. The young midfielder has completed his move from Leipzig to the Catalan club.
Barcelona secured Olmo’s services for a fee of €60 million. He has signed a six-year contract with the La Liga giants, committing himself to the club until June 30, 2030.
In a statement, Barcelona expressed their delight at securing Olmo’s signature: “The dream has come true. Olmo has signed a contract with Barcelona for the next six years.”
Olmo was a pivotal figure in Spain’s Euro 2020 success. His partnership with Lamine Yamal proved devastating for opponents. His crucial header in the final secured Spain victory, and he finished the tournament as one of the top scorers.
Olmo’s journey began at La Masia in Barcelona. He later honed his skills at Dinamo Zagreb before joining Leipzig in 2020. During his time in Germany, he won two German Cups and witnessed the club’s first title triumph.
The 26-year-old Spaniard expressed his gratitude to Leipzig in a farewell message on his official X account: “Thank you RB Leipzig, you will always be in my heart.”
