Huge offer for Dani Olmo, millions pouring in, he already has a new team if he leaves Barça

Dani Olmo returned to FC Barcelona in the summer of 2024 after standing out at Dinamo Zagreb and RB Leipzig with outstanding performances. Barça paid approximately €55 million (about $59.8 million), a figure that many media outlets consider low for a player of his caliber. Olmo arrived being considered among the top five or ten attacking midfielders in the world.

The truth is that his first appearances wearing Barça's jersey were promising. Dani Olmo scored a goal in each of his first three matches, leaving a very positive impression on Flick's coaching staff. It seemed that his adaptation would be quick and decisive for the culé project.

However, in the fourth match Dani Olmo suffered a muscle injury that kept him off the field for several weeks. Since then, he has alternated brilliant performances with physical discomfort that limits his continuity. That inconsistency has caused a certain degree of concern about his impact in the most demanding matches. Now a huge offer has arrived that could complicate his future at Camp Nou.

Competition and lack of consistency point to Dani Olmo

In addition to his lack of continuity, there's now the emergence of Fermín López, who delivers consistent performances and good displays in the same position as Dani Olmo. Fermín has shown great versatility and reliability, which makes it even harder for Olmo to shine on a regular basis. Olmo's physical discomfort and the internal competition have fueled rumors about his continuity at Barça.

Deco, Laporta, and the coaching staff led by Hansi Flick see that Dani Olmo's performances have high points, but not enough to guarantee him as an undisputed starter. Thus, the offer the club has just received could tip the balance toward a departure. The financial figures, the club's financial pressure, and squad needs are elements that weigh heavily in the decision-making process.

Newcastle offers more than €70 million ($76.1 million) for Dani Olmo

Completely unexpectedly, Newcastle has expressed interest in acquiring Dani Olmo's services. The English club wants to take advantage of the player's physical fragility, Barça's financial situation, and the competition from Fermín López to negotiate his transfer. According to sports media sources, Newcastle plans to make a bid exceeding €70 million ($76.1 million) for Dani Olmo.

That amount would be difficult for Barça to refuse, given their need to balance the budget, strengthen other areas of the squad, and free up salary mass. Deco and Laporta must assess whether keeping Olmo is more worthwhile than accepting the offer. It seems that everything will be in Flick's hands, since the German will have the final say.
