Report: Before mid-July, Liverpool has an advantage over Barca to sign a £51 million deal.
Headline: Liverpool in Talks to Secure £85 Million Signing
According to reports, Liverpool has initiated discussions to secure the acquisition of a £85 million player from RB Leipzig. The player’s value is expected to increase after a certain date, given his pivotal role within the Leipzig squad.
Sources based in Madrid suggest that Liverpool, among other English clubs, are contemplating a move to secure his services during the upcoming summer transfer window.
Dani Olmo, who previously featured in Barcelona’s youth teams, is sought after by his former club, but Barcelona faces financial constraints preventing them from pursuing his transfer.
Barcelona’s current financial limitations, due to Financial Fair Play regulations, inhibit them from making a move for Olmo, as there’s no available space in the squad’s salary budget.
Contrary to Barcelona, Liverpool appears to have no such financial constraints hindering them from pursuing Olmo. The player, eager to resolve his future before mid-July, awaits appealing offers.
Despite a injury-ridden previous season where Olmo made 25 appearances, scoring 8 goals and providing 5 assists, his versatility in various attacking positions makes him an attractive prospect for Liverpool to bolster their offensive capabilities.
Considering Olmo’s potential contribution to Liverpool’s attack, the question arises whether the club should invest £51 million to secure his services before the mid-July deadline.
