The Barcelona administration has developed an alternative plan to support the left wing position in the event that the contract with Athletic Bilbao star Neco Williams fails in the current summer Mercato.
Barca is trying to reconcile its economic situation to include Williams, but the player is demanding that the Catalan club quickly finalize the deal, otherwise he will stay for another year with Bilbao.
According to the newspaper “Sport”, the Barca administration has identified another star in Euro 2024 to be a replacement for Williams if the deal fails, and the talk here is about the Spanish national team player Dani Olmo.
Barca’s management is attracted to the idea of signing Olmo as he is one of the club’s sons who possesses the DNA of the Blaugrana, in addition to his amazing levels with Leipzig and Spain in the recent period.
Olmo has welcomed joining Barcelona for a long time, and last summer he even had an agreement with the Barcelona administration, but the deal was not concluded in the end.
Olmo is still linked to a long-term contract with Leipzig until the summer of 2027, and the existing release clause worth 60 million euros expires on July 25.
Leipzig will not mind selling its Spanish striker, but the negotiations will not be easy, and contracting him will not be financially cheap or less expensive than Neco Williams.
“Sport” pointed out in its report that Olmo has the preference within Barcelona over Liverpool star Luis Diaz, contrary to what is rumored that the Colombian is the alternative option for Williams.
It is worth noting that Dani Olmo shares the top scorers in Euro 2024 with Harry Kane, with 3 goals each before the final of the competition, which will bring together Spain and England on Sunday.
