Barcelona Set to Sign Euro 2024 Champions Nico Williams and Dani Olmo This Summer

Barcelona is reportedly working on deals to secure the signing of Nico Williams and Dani Olmo, two Spanish stars who have garnered attention after winning the EURO title in Germany.

Nico Williams to Barcelona

Williams, a 22-year-old winger from Athletic Club, has a €58 million release clause in his current contract. Despite their financial struggles over the past few seasons, Barcelona is prepared to pay this amount. Williams has emerged as a top priority for the Catalan club.

Dani Olmo Transfer Details

Dani Olmo, currently with RB Leipzig, has a release clause of €60 million in his contract, which Barcelona missed the deadline to trigger. Olmo is contracted to stay at Leipzig until 2027, allowing the German club to demand a higher transfer fee. Barcelona is keen to acquire Olmo and may need to release a key player to fund the move. Premier League sides Manchester City, Liverpool, and Manchester United have also shown interest in Olmo following his impressive performance at the 2024 EURO.

Barcelona’s sporting director Deco recently met with Olmo’s agents, indicating strong interest from the club. RB Leipzig is reportedly eager to offload Olmo and is pushing Barcelona to make a final decision, eyeing Portuguese forward Francisco Conceicao as his replacement.

Squad Revamp Under Hansi Flick

Barcelona’s newly appointed manager, Hansi Flick, aims to revamp the squad this summer. Flick emphasized the need for match-winners in the team and expressed his commitment to improving young players. The squad’s strength will be assessed when Barcelona faces Manchester City in a pre-season friendly on July 31.
