What has the once powerful club fallen to? Josep Bartomeu and Joan Laporta, with senseless moves, put it in a situation where the club is forced to ‘beg’ for money. Barcelona don’t have the means to cash out for the reinforcements they want, so they have to get creative.In the case of Dani Olmo, they are improvising. They tried the I.O.U approach, but Leipzig rejected it when they realized that the Catalans wanted to pay in several instalments. The first offer included the payment of 40,000,000 euros. In annual instalments of 10,000,000 each, starting with payment in 2025, an additional 10,000,000 for winning two Spanish championship titles by 2029, and another 10,000,000 for winning two Champions Leagues by 2029.##NAJAVA_MECA_8246436##All this in order to reach 60,000,000 euros, which is how much Leipzig values one of the best players. When the Germans saw that, they almost laughed. They didn’t even consider letting go of the talented midfielder, because who can guarantee that Barça will win anything in the next five years, especially not the continental crown that they have been waiting for since 2015?That’s why Laporta and his associates decided to send a new, improved offer to the Red Bull Arena. Since the Catalans cannot deliver what the Bundesliga member requires all at once, and they have an agreement with the footballer, they tried the following way. The fixed part does not even reach 50,000,000 euros, but it is very close and amounts to 47,000,000. The additional three would reach Leipzig on the condition that Dani plays a certain number of games, which is considered logical, because the choice of sports director Deco and new coach Hansi Flick is expected for Olmo to be a standard member of the starting line-up.🚨🇪🇸 𝐁𝐑𝐄𝐀𝐊𝐈𝐍𝐆 | Barcelona reach agreement with Dani Olmo on personal terms!

The Catalans hope that this is a fair offer.They have already agreed to cooperate with Dani Olmo until June 2026.All this is the information of Mundo Deportivo, located in Barcelona, while the Madrid-based Marca deals with a different story and assures that the fixed part is as much as 55,000,000 euros, 4,000,000 are easily attainable bonuses, and 3,000.00 are slightly more difficult bonuses. Then the deal would cost up to 62,000,000 euros.
