RB Leipzig receives millions for Olmo transfer from Barcelona
Dani Olmo's move from RB Leipzig to FC Barcelona in the summer of 2024 for 55 million euros has far-reaching consequences for both the player and both clubs. RBLive reports that the introduction of bonus payments of almost three million euros to RB Leipzig plays an important role. This sum results from an agreement that is linked to Olmo's sporting performance.
However, there were difficulties at the beginning of his time in Barcelona. The club was unable to immediately register Olmo in La Liga due to regulations, which resulted in the player missing the first few games of the season. Concerns were raised that he might not be able to play again in the first half of the season. Despite these problems, Olmo was able to play 39 competitive games in his first season at Barcelona, in which he scored 12 goals and provided 7 assists. AP News added However, Olmo also had to miss several games due to injury, which was characterized by muscle injuries, strains and adductor problems.
Successes and challenges
Despite the challenges, Dani Olmo and his team achieved remarkable success. Barcelona secured the title of Spanish champions and reached the semi-finals of the Champions League. RB Leipzig, on the other hand, could receive a total of 4.2 million euros from Barcelona by 2030, depending on Olmo's further sporting achievements and the resulting bonus payments.
External factors are also crucial for Barcelona's financial situation. The club is planning to sign Nico Williams and urgently needs financial resources to do so. It is reported that UEFA has fined Barcelona €15 million over transfer revenue violations. This situation brings both challenges and opportunities for everyone involved. RBLive points out the financial aspects.
Olmo's return to Barcelona is also a return to his roots. He joined the famous La Masia academy in 2007 after moving from Espanyol. After seven years in Barcelona, he left the club to continue his career with Dinamo Zagreb in Croatia. He has played in the Bundesliga for RB Leipzig since 2020 and has now fought his way back into the ranks of his former club.
