Dani Olmo, the Spain international midfielder, announced his departure from RB Leipzig after more than four years with the Bundesliga club. The 26-year-old, who joined Leipzig in 2020 and extended his contract until 2027 last year, is now anticipated to sign with Barcelona.
During his time at Leipzig, Olmo made 148 appearances across all competitions, scoring 29 goals and winning two German Cups. Reflecting on his experience, Olmo shared on social media, “A young club, a young player … We grew up, won our first trophies, and made history together. Two Cups and the Super Cup are just some of the many unforgettable moments that’ll always stay with me. Thank you RB Leipzig, you’ll forever be in my heart.”
Olmo played a key role in Spain’s Euro 2024 victory and was named one of the six Spanish players in UEFA’s team of the tournament. Media reports suggest he will soon return to Barcelona, where he spent seven years in the youth academy before moving to Dinamo Zagreb at the age of 16.
