Barcelona could agree to Dani Olmo’s transfer to Tottenham for €70 million
Barcelona may approve the transfer of Dani Olmo to Tottenham Hotspur in a deal worth €70 million (approximately R$441 million), according to Spanish outlet Fichajes. The move, currently under discussion, could give the Catalan club crucial financial breathing room ahead of the season’s final transfer window push.
Financial Strategy Behind the Move
Although Olmo is viewed as one of manager Hansi Flick’s most trusted midfielders, Barcelona are under pressure to generate funds for reinforcements and salary cap compliance. Offloading the 27-year-old could help balance the books while allowing the club to explore other high-profile signings.
Premier League Interest Intensifies
Olmo, signed last season after rejecting interest from Manchester City and Bayern Munich, is now firmly on Tottenham’s radar. The London club, runners-up in the recent UEFA Super Cup, are ready to invest heavily after narrowly missing out on the trophy in a 3-2 defeat to PSG.
Proven Quality at Club and International Level
In his first season back in Spain, Olmo played 39 matches, scoring 12 goals and providing six assists—directly contributing to 18 goals for the La Liga champions. The midfielder, a product of Barcelona’s youth academy before turning professional with Dinamo Zagreb, has also been a standout for the Spanish national team, earning 44 caps and 11 goals, including a starring role in Spain’s UEFA Euro 2024 triumph.
Tottenham’s Ambition
Spurs are looking to reinforce their midfield with a player who blends creativity, vision, and goal-scoring ability. Should the deal go through, Olmo would arrive at the Tottenham Hotspur Stadium as one of the Premier League’s most expensive signings of the summer.
With negotiations expected to advance in the coming days, Barcelona’s decision could have significant implications for both clubs’ seasons.
