BARCELONA SETS SIGHTS ON OLMO AFTER NICO WILLIAMS DEAL GETTING UNLIKELY, SAY SOURCES

Furthermore, Barcelona has set its sights on Olmo after a Williams deal seemed unlikely, sources told ESPN.

Moreover, Barca is getting difficulty registering Williams with La Liga immediately, sources said.

The 22-year-old Williams commands a £58-million (USD62.73 million) transfer fee.

Additionally, Barca president Joan Laporta assured Williams’ release clause is affordable but the player’s registration with La Liga poses a problem.

The club is more than their La Liga-imposed spending limit.

Until Barca brings in more cash through transfers or new revenue streams, they are limited on what they can spend by La Liga.

🇪🇸🚨(Breaking): Barcelona knows that Dani Olmo is determined to join them. However, they believe his transfer fee should be less than €60 million. Leipzig has already rejected two offers from Barça, but Deco is still diligently working on the deal.#FCB #Transfers 🔴🔵… pic.twitter.com/Lm6I9fnUF0

BARCA-RB LEIPZIG DEAL NEEDED TO LAND DANI

Moreover, a Barca and RB Leipzig deal will be needed for the Catalan club to land Olmo.

The forward welcomes a return to Barca after he left to move to Croatia as a 16-year-old.

However, a verbal agreement will be honored by RB Leipzig.

The agreement was for the German club to let Olmo leave if a club team s ready to pay around that amount this summer.

Meanwhile, Laporta said Barca’s latest financial position is “improving” at new coach Hansi Flick’s presentation last week sources said.

CATALAN CLUB BUSY WITH REGISTERING MARTINEZ, ROQUE; ARAUJO REGISTRATION UNLIKELY

Furthermore, the Catalan club will also be busy with other players,, particularly in registering Inigo Martinez and Vitor Roque.

Both players were only registered until the end of last season.

Moreover, the club will not register defender Ronald Araujo due to his long-term hamstring injury.

Araujo is not expected to return until November after undergoing surgery.

On the other hand, Barca is open to any offers from clubs interested in the Uruguayan defender.

Barcelona openly acknowledges that signing Nico Williams is becoming increasingly unlikely. Reliable club sources now consider the deal nearly dead, blaming "pressure from his family and Athletic Club". Even calls from Alejandro Balde, one of his best friends at Barcelona,…
