Fabrizio Romano, an expert in the European soccer transfer market, said on his SNS account on the 6th (Korea time), “Allmo is going to Barcelona. There was a dialogue between Barcelona director Deku and Leipzig, and an agreement was reached. It is 62 million euros including the option. Allmo signed a six-year contract with Barcelona.” He also did not forget the signature phrase “Here We Go” used when his transfer is confirmed.
Olmo is a quality midfielder with Spanish nationality. Although he grew up in Barcelona Youth, he lost out in the competition and headed for Dynamo Zagreb, where he improved his skills. In the 2018-19 season, he quickly came to prominence, scoring two goals and four assists in 10 matches in the UEFA Europa League.
After this, he moved to Leipzig in the 2019-20 season. He became an ace in Leipzig and represented the league. During the season, injuries were a drag on him, but he continued to improve his skills after his return.
Through this UEFA Euro 2024, Olmo displayed impressive presence. Olmo represented Spain and led Spain to victory by scoring three goals and two assists in six matches. Due to Pedri’s injury, he took an important role from the quarterfinal against Germany and scored a shot at every critical moment, contributing greatly to the victory.메이저사이트
This attracted attention from various teams. Looking for a potential replacement for Kevin De Bruyne, Manchester City selected him as the right candidate, and Bayern Munich also sought to recruit him.
Originally, the player’s top priority was Munich. However, he recently changed his mind due to constant contact with Barcelona. Barcelona President Juan Laporta even instructed Deku to do everything possible to recruit Olmo.
That’s how the agreement was reached. Barcelona first reached a personal agreement with Olmo, won the player’s heart, and then talked to Leipzig. The transfer fee was the biggest issue, but there was a consensus on this, and the transfer was made for 62 million euros, including options.
