The transfer comes just one year after Olmo arrived at Camp Nou from RB Leipzig in the summer of 2024, having contributed 19 goal points across all competitions that season.
Barcelona seeks financial relief
Barcelona are facing a transition period marked by financial pressure. According to sources close to the board, the sale of Dani Olmo could bring in around €60 million – enough to free up salary capacity and deal with pending registrations, such as Rashford’s. The Blaugrana have already registered Joan García.
The rise of Fermín López and the return of Gavi has diminished the former Leipzig player’s importance, leading Hansi Flick to consider a departure as a strategic solution.
Tottenham looking for an attacking midfielder
Tottenham are looking to strengthen their creative zone after James Maddison’s injury. Olmo fits the profile Spurs are looking for: versatile, creative and with experience from European tournaments.
In addition to the Spaniard, the English club are also keeping a close eye on Eberechi Eze, although they fear competition from Arsenal, and Nico Paz, a promising talent from Real Madrid. But Olmo’s experience may weigh heaviest.
A sporting loss, but a financial win for Barça
The sale of Dani Olmo will be a sporting loss for Barça, but a decisive financial gain. His performances have been solid, but internal competition and financial constraints have changed the situation.
In the Premier League, Olmo will face a more physical and dynamic style of play, which can reinforce his ability to operate between the lines and his attacking understanding of the game. Moreover, his arrival at Tottenham will provide Thomas Frank with tactical options, while he seeks solutions to build a top team that can challenge for the Premier League title.
Depending on negotiations
Dani Olmo’s future depends on the negotiations between Barcelona and Tottenham in the coming weeks. With an offer of 70 million on the table and an urgent need for liquidity at Camp Nou, the transfer seems more and more likely.
If implemented, Spurs will get a player with proven top-level talent, while Barça will secure an important financial breathing space to plan for the rest of the transfer window.
