Dani Olmo Confirms His Move To FC Barcelona

Barcelona has officially completed the signing of Spanish midfielder Dani Olmo from RB Leipzig in a deal reportedly worth 60 million euros.

Dani Olmo, 26-year-old, is making a return to Barcelona after previously representing the club at the youth level before moving to Dinamo Zagreb in Croatia in 2014.

Olmo has put pen to paper on a six-year contract with Barcelona. The contract includes a release clause set at 500 million euros, indicating the club’s commitment to the talented player.

During the European Championship (Euro 2024) in Germany, Dani Olmo emerged as one of the top football stars, finishing as the joint top-scorer with three goals and making significant contributions to Spain’s successful championship campaign.

In an official statement, Barcelona praised Olmo’s talent and his ability to work harmoniously with his teammates, highlighting his goal-scoring prowess both inside and outside the penalty area.

During his stint with RB Leipzig, Dani Olmo achieved notable success, clinching two German Cups with the club.

“A young club, a young player. We grew up, won our first trophies and made history together,” Dani Olmo wrote on X after completing his move to FC Barcelona earlier today, August 9.

He added, “Thank you, RB Leipzig, you’ll forever be in my heart.”
