Barca already working to sign Dani Olmo in 2022

Barcelona tried to sign Dani Olmo at the last minute of the summer transfer window, but failed to do so because RB Leizpig were asking for 75 million euros, which they did not have and which LaLiga warned they could not afford anyway. 'Mundo Deportivo' indicated these details along with a report that warns that the board is already working to close him for the 2022-23 season.

In fact, the Catalan bosses have already planned a first meeting with the Germans. This could take place in a matter of weeks. The main issue on the table will be the formula to incorporate him, since those 75 million are still a practically impossible task for Joan Laporta's government team.

The Spanish side will have to find a way to lower it, either through a barter or by acquiring strong revenues in the coming months. January stands as the main opportunity to do so because the transfer window reopens and the Catalan club will be able to negotiate sales if they wish to do so.

According to the source mentioned in the first paragraph, RB Leipzig are not averse to negotiating. This is because Dani Olmo's contract expires in 2024 and the club does not want - in case he is not renewed - to have to face the difficult situation that his freedom is approaching and he can leave for free.
