Spain's Euro 2024-winning midfielder Dani Olmo may remain with RB Leipzig for the 2024-25 season after the club rejected a second bid for the player from Barcelona. The Bundesliga club had turned down an initial 45 million euro offer and has deemed a second approach of over 55 million euros as unacceptable. The 26-year-old midfielder, considered RB Leipzig's best talent, has three years remaining on his deal with the club, and they are in no rush to sell him. However, Olmo is eager to return to Barcelona, his former club where he began his youth career. Barcelona is reportedly planning to increase their offer to 60 million euros in the coming days, aiming to secure Olmo's services. Real Madrid has already completed their summer transfer business, and Olmo seems set on a move to Barcelona. Olmo, who has 39 caps for Spain and 11 goals, had a successful stint with RB Leipzig, scoring 8 goals in 25 games last season. Barcelona is also rumored to be interested in South African striker Lyle Foster from Burnley as a potential backup option in the forward position. Barcelona aims to finalize their transfer dealings by August 14, 2024, and the possibility of securing both Foster and Olmo remains uncertain.
