Barcelona look set to sign Dani Olmo this week, after a €55m plus €7m in variables deal was agreed with RB Leipzig. The Euro 2024 winner has traveled to Barcelona, and despite top target Nico Williams returning to Athletic Club training, and seemingly confirming his future lies in Bilbao this summer.
However sources from the Catalan capital continue to maintain that their are still hopes of a deal for Williams in Can Barca. They will not rule out the deal for as long as Williams does not respond definitively to their offer. As per Sport, President Joan Laporta will take over negotiations from Sporting Director Deco, as a matter of state.
He will remind Williams that the chance to sign for Barcelona doesn’t always come up twice. Laporta has always been the driving force behind the Williams pursuit this summer, and but the 22-year-old will not leave Athletic with bad blood.
Information coming out of Barcelona is optimistic about the chances of the Blaugrana getting several deals over the line to ensure they can return to within their salary limit this summer. That has been the case for several months though, and without any public confirmation, it seems difficult for Barcelona to activate Williams’ €58m release clause and pay for Olmo.

It doesn't really relate much, but just want to throw it out there. I have been reading a lot of comment about the signing of Dany Olmo. Many FCB fans are saying it was not necessary. The problem with Barcelona fans is the lack of vision to see far. If you truly look at the Real Madrid bench, it's full of first team players. The season is long the games are many. Club level like Laga, king's cup, champion's league, and international games for countries level. Then you have fatigue and injury that hurts the players at the end of the season because you don't have many capable players on the bench. You always run to the academy players which is a gamble. Madrid, Man City, Bayern all have enough first team players on the bench. Dani Olmo is very versatile and very creative. I don't understand why you keep saying he's not a good signing. Yes he's and you will see. We have many midfielders but they keep getting injured because we over use them. I am very happy we didn't lose Olmo to Man City or Liverpool...

I am still saying this, the news of Williams arriving to Barcelona this summer will shock the haters. Laporta knows he made huge mistake when he announced publicly that Barca can get Williams, and the news didn't go well with Ath. presido. Secondly Williams has never said no to Barcelona. Now the game is between the 2 Presido. Let's wait till the end. Forca Barca.

Deco is not the problem but the lack of funds. Our club does not have enough money to buy the best players and pay them good salaries.
when they talk about salary limit, you dumb ass can't reason that the problem here is not lack of fun . people go to school but school don't go through them
