Barcelona offer stunning 6-year deal to EURO 2024 star as they eye double swoop along with Nico Williams - Reports
Barcelona have put out a contract offer to Spain's Euro 2024 star Dani Olmo, as they look to sign him and Nico Williams this summer. Reports indicate that the Spanish giants are keen to add both Euro 2024 stars to their squad for the 2024-25 season.
La Blaugrana endured a disappointing 2023-24 season in which they barely escaped finishing third behind Girona and Real Madrid. They eventually finished in second place, and have undergone a significant change to their management group, with Hansi Flick having replaced Xavi since then.
Journalist Ferran Martinez has reported that Barcelona have sent an official offer to the representatives of Dani Olmo over a move this summer. The Spanish outfit have put a six-year contract on the table for the midfielder, and will look to sign him from RB Leipzig for €60 million plus add-ons.
The club have already registered their interest in Nico Williams, with president Joan Laporta stating that they are working hard to sign the youngster. The Athletic Club forward was in scintillating form for Spain at Euro 2024, contributing two goals and an assist, including a goal in the final.
Olmo began his career in the Barcelona youth system before betting on himself and moving to Dinamo Zagreb, where he made his professional bow and announced himself to the world. The 26-year-old has been linked with multiple clubs, including Manchester City and Liverpool, this summer.
La Blaugrana are close to achieving financial stability after a few years of struggle to avoid breaching Profit and Sustainability Rules in Spain's top-flight. The signing of attacking reinforcements could be vital to Hansi Flick, who has already begun pre-season with some of the squad.
Barcelona star set for Premier League switch - Reports
Versatile Barcelona star Sergi Roberto is in talks with a Premier League club over a Bosman transfer this summer, as per CaughtOffside. The veteran Spaniard has spent the entirety of his professional career at Barcelona so far, and is now set to move elsewhere.
Roberto has been plagued by injuries for much of the last two years, but then-manager Xavi was prepared to offer him a new contract. The exit of Xavi from the club complicates things for the right-back-cum-midfielder as no contract offer has come in for him, and he's not keen on waiting any longer.
Sergi Roberto has attracted interest from multiple sides, including clubs in the MLS and La Liga. The 32-year-old is now set to move away from the club, with the Premier League a likely destination for him this summer.
