Bundesliga giants insist Barcelona pay full release clause for Euro 2024 star

RB Leipzig have taken a resolute stance in their negotiations with Barcelona over the transfer of Dani Olmo, insisting on a fixed €60 million transfer fee. 

According to Ferran Martinez of Mundo Deportivo, the German club is unwilling to budge from their valuation after rejecting Barcelona’s first offer of €40 million plus €20 million in variables.

Leipzig’s stance is rooted in their belief that Olmo’s termination clause is €60 million, a price they deem reasonable considering his recent performances in the European Championship. 

The club is proud of their player and feels that their asking price is, in fact, below his true worth. They point to examples like Joao Neves, a 19-year-old midfielder who is about to join PSG for €70 million, to justify their valuation.

The German club is also perplexed by Barcelona’s willingness to pay €62 million for 21-year-old Nico Williams while offering only €40 million for Olmo.
