Xavi Hernandez has mentioned RB Leipzig star, Dani Olmo, as a player Barcelona should sign this summer
Fichajes reports that Barcelona is keeping an eye on RB Leipzig forward Dani Olmo in anticipation of a summer offer. There are rumours that manager Xavi Hernandez is interested in signing the Spanish international to bolster his offence. Catalan giants FC Barcelona may have to sell before they can acquire any more quality, giving Manchester United an edge in their pursuit of the player.
This past summer, Barcelona invested heavily to improve their team in several ways. While many bets have paid off, others have not. Robert Lewandowski, now 34, and Raphinha, now 25, started the season well. But there were some dubious choices made when the two were paid significant money.
A similar sum of €55 million was used to acquire Ferran Torres in January. Unfortunately, the Spanish striker has not lived up to the hype. Barcelona’s finances have taken a serious hit due to these initiatives. In order to generate substantial revenue before spending money on new players.
There are questions regarding whether or not they can really pull off agreements for high-profile players like Joao Felix, but rumours persist. Barcelona is on the lookout for substantial moves that won’t break the bank but would greatly enhance the club.
Will Dani Olmo come to the Camp Nou?
Dani Olmo, an attacker for RB Leipzig who has caught the eye of Manchester United, is one such player. Despite the 24-year-old’s lacklustre performances in Germany, he will be representing Spain in the 2022 FIFA World Cup. Before Luis Enrique’s team was eliminated by Morocco in the round of 16, he scored one and assisted on another goal.

In light of his diminished role, Olmo is being eased out of the RB Leipzig lineup. The attention from Barcelona may even make him consider moving back there. The club may pursue him after hearing that Xavi Hernandez considers the Spanish international an important piece in his system.

Olmo’s impact has diminished significantly this season. The RB Leipzig team is gradually removing him from the roster. In addition, the attention from Barcelona may entice him to go back there. Xavi Hernandez may try to persuade the club to make an offer for the Spanish international since he sees him as a key player in his system.
