Dani Olmo’s agent speaks out on the current debacle concerning his client while revealing an offer from FC Bayern.
Barcelona – FC Barcelona have temporarily failed to register Dani Olmo for the rest of the season. This means that the Spanish international player, who was transferred from RB Leipzig to Barça for around 55 million euros in the summer of 2024, could now leave the club for free.
However, Olmo is not considering this option. “It’s a stressful situation for Dani, as it is for any other player. But he’s a great player and a nice person, and he’s trying to stay calm,” Olmo’s agent Andy Bara quotes. , via transfer expert Fabrizio Romano.
Bara also said: “I can confirm that our position has not changed. We are not negotiating with any club. Dani is a Barca player, and he wants to be a Barca player; he has made great efforts in his life to be at FC Barcelona It’s been his wish for a long time.”

Recently, rumors have been circulating that FC Bayern are closely monitoring Olmo’s situation. The 26-year-old was linked with the German champions last summer before his move to Barca. Even at the start of 2020, before Olmo moved from Dinamo Zagreb to Leipzig, the Bavarians had shown interest in him.
“Yes, that’s true. Bayern offered more money, and the marketing was more important. But we gave our word to Leipzig and Oliver Mintzlaff – they presented their project, and then we decided for Leipzig “It’s about the sporting project. Money is not everything in life and in football,” Bara said.
Olmo’s agent is convinced that FC Barcelona will find a solution to this problem. After all, Barça remains “a great club.”
In Spain, there is a cap on personnel costs set by the league association each year for each club based on economic data. Spending on transfer fees and salaries must be in line with income. This has not been the case for FC Barcelona for some time, which explains why the contract renewal with Lionel Messi failed in 2021. The club still has debts amounting to around 1.3 billion euros .
