However, according to transfer market expert Fabrizio Romano, Barca has finally made a breakthrough in their negotiations for Olmo.
The revised proposal to the Bundesliga club includes a guaranteed €55 million fee, with an additional €4 million in easily attainable bonuses and €3 million in performance-based incentives, potentially raising the total deal to €62 million.
Barcelona hold Dani Olmo in high esteem
Club president Joan Laporta, sporting director Deco, and head coach Hansi Flick all view Olmo as a key acquisition.
Following a standout performance at the Euros, where he netted three goals and provided two assists in six matches, Olmo seems poised to leave the German league.
Dani Olmo's long journey back to Barcelona
Having grown up in Catalonia, Olmo began his youth career at Espanyol before being recruited by Barcelona in 2007.
According to Blaugranagram, he progressed through the ranks to the U18s before moving to Dinamo Zagreb's reserve team in 2014.
A year later, he was promoted to the first team and spent five years there before transferring to Leipzig.
After four years in Germany, the 26-year-old feels it is time for a new challenge and has prioritised a return to his boyhood club, Barcelona, over other interested teams.
