Due to the recent turn of events, FC Barcelona is broadening their hunt during the summer transfer window. The Catalan club cannot afford to spend all their attention and time on any given operation, and they need to inject some urgency. As a consequence of this, Barcelona is now gradually moving on.
This scenario is directly referring to the drawn-out saga of Nico Williams. Despite being the priority signing of Barcelona this summer, and one that is expected to have a final answer sooner rather than later, the Athletic Club star’s operation is forcing Barcelona to ultimately neglect their other priorities and objectives.
However, despite this delay, Barça remain more than happy with the commitment shown by 26-year-old RB Leipzig star Dani Olmo. His dream remains to return to Barcelona, and as highlighted by Mundo Deportivo, La Blaugrana are beginning to appreciate him more and more for benefits beyond just his sporting excellence.
As per the report, Barcelona already almost have personal terms settled with the player and his entourage. Instead, it is the negotiations with RB Leipzig that are yet to be sorted out.
Barcelona are willing to offer a deal that mixes together fixed payments and variables, but the club needs the German outfit to lower their demands to make Olmo’s signing a possibility.
Furthermore, next week will reportedly be crucial in terms of the future of Dani Olmo as well. The player continues to wait for Barça, completely ignoring other suitors and their offers to him. This has been greatly received within the Barcelona offices, and given his La Masia heritage, Olmo feels like a perfect fit.
With doubt beginning to cripple in with the operation concerning Nico Williams, it is crucial for Barça to tend to other potential arrivals as well. In terms of those, Dani Olmo remains at the very top of the list of players that are a priority for Barcelona beyond the Athletic Club winger.
Moreover, due to the Bundesliga star’s ability to play as a versatile forward, he is appreciated even more within the Catalan club. Able to play in any of the four attacking roles, whether it be on either wing, as a center-forward, or even as an attacking midfielder, Olmo is capable of playing in all the different positions that Barcelona may need him to fill at any given point.
