Tottenham target Dani Olmo subject to £55m Barcelona bid

According to Sky Germany reporter Philipp Hinze, RB Leipzig have turned down a transfer offer from Barcelona for Dani Olmo, with Tottenham also interested in signing the 26-year-old Euro 2024 winner th📖is summer.

Hinze wrote on Barcelona’s failed bid to sign Olmo: “Yes, there was an initial offer from Barca to RB Leipzig for Dani Olmo. The offer was made a few days ago. However, Leipzig de💛clined it as the offer did not meet their expectations.

“The overall package was not satisfactory. Leipzig is basing Olmo’s price on the value of his e🔯xpired release clause: €60m (£55m). During the week, further talks took place between Barca and thꦐe player’s side. To be continued…”

Hailed as ‘unbelievable’ by Alan Shearer, Olmo’s stock has risen considerably since the Euros꧑, and with Leipzig holding out for £55m for their star playmaker, Tottenham could be ba🦩ck in with a chance of landing the former Dinamo Zagreb star.

Tottenham need to do all they can to sign Olmo this summer

Olmo has shown in the last 12 months he has the quality to play with the biggest and best players in world football, and Tottenham need to ensure t✱hey’re ღdoing all they can to sign the attacking midfielder.

A creative presence with the ability to score goals i꧑s something Tottenham could benefit from in a big way this summer, with James Maddison’s form falling off towards the end of last season.

And with Leipzig setting their price for Olmo, Tottenham now know what must be done to bring in the Spanish international, who could be tempted by the Spurs💖 project with the right approach.
