RB Leipzig Sporting Director sends second warning to Barcelona over Dani Olmo negotiations

Barcelona look to be trying their best to bring in Dani Olmo, with Nico Williams’ future seemingly lying in Bilbao this coming season. The 26-year-old is willing to join the Catalan side, but they will not be allowed to sign him on their terms.

RB Leipzig Sporting Director Rouven Schroder has stated once that he was willing to hold onto Olmo if there were no satisfactory offers. Now, he has told BILD (via MD) that if Olmo is to leave, everyone will have to get what they want out of the deal.

“If we don’t reach an agreement with a club, then the player will stay with us. And if there is something suitable, we will weigh it up. But one thing is also clear: there cannot be one winner [from the deal].”

RB Leipzig are still not willing to accept the new offer from Barcelona for Dani Olmo. Leipzig are not happy with the new numbers presented. They demand at least €60m, fair to achieve + add-ons. Olmo wants to join Barcelona over all other options. @Plettigoal

Recent reporting is that Leipzig have turned down at least two offers from Barcelona for Olmo, if not three. They have agreed verbally with Olmo to allow him to leave for €60m, the value of his release clause that was valid until the 20th of July, but will not accept less. The Blaugrana are expected to come back with a fresh offer, but paying his fee in its entirety to in the next year, as the German side wish, might be more of an issue.
