The two German international footballers David Raum and Benjamin Henrichs would regret the departure of Spain's European champion Dani Olmo from RB Leipzig. "If he were to leave, it would be a huge loss," said Raum in a media session after training with the Saxon Bundesliga club. "He's a top player. Of course, you always like having him in the team." Should he move to FC Barcelona, however, they would also be happy for Olmo: "Because then it's the right move for him."
According to reports, Barcelona will pay a transfer fee of just under 60 million euros. The 26-year-old is considered the dream transfer of Barcelona's sporting director Deco and the new Barça coach Hansi Flick. The channel Esport3 has already published footage via X, formerly Twitter, showing Olmo arriving at the airport.
According to Italian transfer expert Fabrizio Romano, Olmo, who was also injury-prone during his time in Leipzig, passed the necessary medical check with the Catalans - and is a "new Barcelona player", as Romano wrote on X. There was initially no official confirmation.
