Barcelona prepare to launch summer push for 26-year-old after positive meeting with agent

Earlier this week, The sports director of Barcelona Deco met with the agent of Dani Olmo. The 26-year-old striker, who is currently with the Spanish national team at Euro 2024, is highly regarded by the Portuguese, to the extent that he wants to make him a top target for the next transfer window. summer

Sport they reported that Deco told Olmo's agents during the meeting that he is willing to do anything to get a deal. His idea is to lay the foundations for a move now, so that a move can be made once Barcelona gets the green light to return to the 1:1 rule of the League, which would allow him to sign without restrictions.

Deco was met with a positive response from Olmo's agent, who is reported to have said that personal terms would not be a problem. The problem for Barcelona would be to agree a fee – RB Leipzig will ask for the release clause of the Spaniard of 60 million euros, which is active only until mid-July. After that, the price goes up.

There is no doubt that Olmo is a top player, but it seems a little strange that Deco is so hard on this signing. He can play on the left wing – the position that Barcelona they think to address – but it is not a natural here. After that, it certainly makes more sense to go for Nico Williams, who would cost similar, and is also five years younger.
