Barcelona have reportedly agreed a deal with RB Leipzig to sign midfielder Dani Olmo.
Olmo was a standout performer at the EURO championships, scoring 3 goals as Spain lifted the trophy in Germany.

According to Fabrizio Romano, Olmo will join Barcelona on a six-year contract, with a guaranteed fee of €55m and potential add-ons of €7m, most of which are considered difficult to achieve.
This means that Barcelona may end up paying less than Olmo's €60m release clause, which expired in July.
The deal marks a significant milestone in Barcelona's summer transfer window, as Olmo was one of their top targets, along with Nico Williams, whose signing has seen little progress.
By securing Olmo's transfer, Barcelona has prioritized his signing over Williams', and the midfielder will now complete his long-awaited return to Camp Nou.
The agreement highlights Barcelona's determination to strengthen their squad, and Olmo's addition is expected to bolster their midfield options.
