future open
RB Leipzig coach Marco Rose sees Dani Olmo as a future top star in the Bundesliga. But at which club the 25-year-old could achieve this status and whether he will stay in the league at all is unclear. The Spanish international, who recently lost market value due to several injuries, is in demand at home and abroad. He is said to have not yet responded to offers of an extension. The club management around managing director Max Eberl has pushed this in the past few months – if Olmo’s signature does not follow before the end of the season, they want to sell the player in the summer.

Discuss RB Leipzig in the forum nowThis way
The midfielder is reportedly eyeing a return to his home country for FC Barcelona and as the Catalans can’t afford Olmo’s fee, they are said to have suggested he join in the summer of 2024 on a free transfer. It is said that there was already an exchange during the World Cup in Qatar. Eberl & Co. want to avoid a free departure at all costs. At least 30 million euros, a sum well below Olmo’s former career high, should be called up in the event of a missing extension.
Werner and Nkunku at the top: RB Leipzig’s top earners
“Sky” reported last week that Olmo also made his whereabouts dependent on RB’s squad planning and the future of top performers Christopher Nkunku, Konrad Laimer and Dominik Szoboszlai. The TV broadcaster denied speculation that Borussia Dortmund might be interested in compensating for the departure of Jude Bellingham in the summer. FC Bayern, which is also acting as a buyer, is not thinking of an obligation at this point in time, reported the “Bild” newspaper and “sports1“. With the record champions, the focus is on the striker position, behind which they are planning with Jamal Musiala and Thomas Müller.
TM community discusses Olmo’s future: Big clubs don’t need him
The future of Olmo is also being discussed in the TM community, and very few believed in staying with RB. “You can’t deny that he has quality. But I don’t think the big clubs need him, at least not as a regular player, and I think that should be a requirement for an Olmo,” wrote the user “mikeaveiro” in the forum, for example. The user “Keltenborusse” also sees Olmo’s future abroad: “BVB would not be an improvement for him, stick with it. I don’t know if he could work at Real or Barca, but I don’t see him as without a chance as you do.”

“Goalgoal77” hits a similar note: “I see the same level at RB and Dortmund at the moment … Such a change would not make sense for Olmo. As a national player, he will want and need to develop further and not stagnate. Spain as a league and style of play makes perfect sense.” “Mhesse85” is of the opinion that “players in the Olmo category switch to internationally attractive clubs or to Munich. This shows the past (Werner, Keita, Upamecano, Sabitzer, etc.). I see the scenario of a free transfer in 2024 as the most realistic option at the moment, since he really wants to go back to Spain and his heart’s club doesn’t have the wherewithal to get him in the summer. Real as an alternative will focus on Bellingham and Mbappé. There would actually only be Atlético left for the summer if a free transfer between Olmo and Barca 2024 is not already in the dry cloths…”
RB coach Rose on Olmo: “Player who can shape a league”
“If Dani Olmo stays healthy on a regular basis, he’s definitely a player who can shape a league and exude incredible lightness and footballing quality,” RB coach Marco Rose praised his protégé. The history of the Spanish international with the Saxons is marked by numerous injuries. He had missed 17 games in all competitions this season alone. Rose sees the origin of Olmo’s story of woe in his consecutive tournament participations at the U21 European Championship and the Olympic Games 2021.

“We’re trying to get that under control little by little,” said the coach. “It’s important for us to have a player like that on the pitch because he guarantees us success to a certain extent.” Olmo has been fit again for eight games and is one of the key players in the Leipzig game. The 25-year-old played a major role in returning to third place and reaching the cup final.
