Barcelona are interested in re-signing their former La Masia player dani olmo
Dani Olmo has stated that he remains open-minded about his future amid strong transfer interest from Barcelona, emphasizing that his intentions and aspirations are well understood by the decision-makers at his current club. He has expressed a desire to keep all options open, reflecting a thoughtful and strategic approach to the next phase of his career.
Olmo, originally from Catalonia, has deep roots in Barcelona’s famed La Masia academy, where he spent seven formative years as a youth player. Despite his promising start there, he took an unconventional path to senior football by moving to Croatia at the age of 16, where he developed his skills and gained valuable experience. His journey reflects both his adaptability and ambition, qualities that make him a highly sought-after player in the current transfer market

The gamble paid off as he quickly made his Dinamo Zagreb debut before his next birthday, eventually securing a relatively high-profile transfer to RB Leipzig in January 2020. During his time at Leipzig, Olmo has established himself as a key player, contributing significantly to the team’s successes in both the Bundesliga and European competitions. After spending four and a half years in Germany, and now aged 26, Olmo could be on the move again, attracting attention from several top clubs.
According to 90min, Barcelona made a verbal offer for Olmo earlier this month, with sporting director Deco engaging in advanced discussions with both Leipzig and the player. This potential move has generated considerable excitement among Barcelona fans, who remember Olmo’s early years at La Masia and see his return as a homecoming of sorts.
“We’ll see,” Olmo told Marca when asked about his future while attending a charity event. He added that while he is focused on finishing the season strong with Leipzig, he is open to exploring new opportunities that align with his career goals and personal aspirations.
