Barca must hurry if they want to bring Dani Olmo to Hansi Flick's side. The RB Leipzig player's 60 million clause expires this Saturday, so the ‘Cule’ club would have to move fast to tie him down.

Dani Olmo's €60million buy-out clause expires this Saturday, so if Barcelona want to bring in the striker they will need to push their options. Olmo, who played seven years in Barcelona's youth ranks, has always been on Barcelona's radar, but this summer he seems to be even closer.
The reason for this is the release clause he requested from RB Leipzig, after seeing one of his team's key players, Josko Gvardiol, leave the German club last summer to join Manchester City.
Barca are interested in Olmo because their coach, Hansi Flick, is familiar with his career, but the problem is mainly financial. Barca needs liquidity but does not have time. Furthermore, the Catalan club has another front open with Nico Williams, whose release clause is for a similar amount to that of Olmo. The Catalan club is not in such a hurry in this operation, as it does not have an expiry date.
According to information from the Twitch channel ‘Jijantes’, the Barcelona sporting director Deco, has met in Zaragoza with the representative of Nico Williams, Felix Tainta. Laporta has reportedly asked Deco to do everything possible to bring Nico Williams together with Dani Olmo. But time is passing and Barcelona are running out of opportunities to reinforce the team, at least to do so with Dani Olmo.
