FC Barcelona is continuing with the sports planning for the upcoming season. Initially, it isn't considering any more signings or departures, but everything could change if the right opportunity arises. What nobody expected is what's about to happen in the next few hours... with Tottenham preparing a €70 million ($70 million) offer to take one of Hansi Flick's untouchables.
Unexpected departure?
"Fichajes.net" has revealed that Tottenham is very interested in signing Dani Olmo. Tottenham has been following him for some time, even when he was still at Leipzig. He actually left the German team during the summer of 2024, after a €55 million ($55 million) payment to join his beloved Barça. It hasn't been an easy path, with problems regarding his registration and the possibility of leaving as a free agent in January.
Despite this, Olmo has trusted Barça at all times. Right now, he's not at risk of leaving, but it's true that Tottenham's offer could change everything. In total, we're talking about €70 million ($70 million) that could solve many financial problems for the culer side.
This €70 million ($70 million) that Tottenham is preparing would finish paying for Dani Olmo's transfer and also generate profit. Not only that, but it would free up a significant amount from the wage bill, allowing for other important registrations.
Nobody expected it
What Tottenham wants is to strengthen its creative area after James Maddison's injury. Dani Olmo fits the profile they're looking for, while they're also closely following Nico Paz and Eberechi Eze.
Nobody at Barça expected this possibility, with the news reaching the locker room. Among others, Pedri and Fermín López were amazed when they heard about it. In fact, the latter would be the main beneficiary of the Spanish international's departure, as he's a direct competitor for his position.
What "Madrid-Barcelona" has learned is that, right now, this offer hasn't reached Barça. If it does happen, it seems very unlikely that it'll be accepted. Dani Olmo is untouchable for Hansi Flick and is part of the sports planning for the upcoming season.
There's full confidence in being able to register all the new signings without needing a departure of this magnitude, opting for the continuity of the homegrown player. This case could be quickly closed.
