RB Leipzig manager warns Barcelona over Dani Olmo: “Offer must match his level” | OneFootball

RB Leipzig manager Marco Rose has stated that there is not any significant news regarding Dani Olmo’s future.

He expressed his desire for the Euro 2024 champion to continue playing under his guidance. However, he also acknowledged that Leipzig might need to part ways with him.

For now, it is known that Olmo has a strong desire to play for Barcelona, and the Catalan club is equally eager to sign him. However, reaching a financial agreement is blocking the move.

“We are working in all directions,” said Rose as quoted by SPORT, indicating that efforts are being made both to keep Olmo at Leipzig and to facilitate his move to Barcelona.

“The player has a value that he earned with us. He developed wonderfully. Everyone knows what Dani Olmo is worth. Any club that wants him must offer a price that matches his level,” he added.

At this moment, Barcelona are struggling to complete the signings they have prioritised for the 2024/25 season, with Olmo being a key target.

Leipzig have set a financial limit for the transfer, which Rose confirmed recently. Both parties have been trying to reach a mutually beneficial agreement for days.

However, despite their efforts, the positions of the two clubs remain far apart. Barcelona and Dani Olmo are in agreement regarding his potential move, but the Blaugrana’s second offer has yet to meet RB Leipzig’s demands.

The situation is complex for Barcelona, who are working tirelessly to bring Olmo to their squad. Olmo’s desire to play for Barcelona is clear, and his skills and experience make him a valuable addition to any team.

However, the financial aspect of the deal remains a significant hurdle. Barcelona must find a way to meet Leipzig’s valuation, which is justified by his performance and development at the German club.
