Dani Olmo – Dani Olmo – strong performances
Olmo is in good form this year for Barcelona despite the controversy. He has scored seven goals and provided three assists in just 22 appearances. In his last league game, he scored in a victory of 2-0 over Las Palmas. He could even start on the pitch in Tuesday night’s Copa del Rey semi-final against Atlético Madrid.
Olmo joined Barcelona from RB Leipzig last summer for a transfer fee of €55 million, as reported by Transfermarkt. If the club fails to maintain his registration and he leaves as a free agent, it could result in financial losses exceeding €250 million, including his market value and potential salary claims.
