The Germans wouldn't mind selling the midfielder, but surely not like this...

Barcelona are trying with all its might to do some big things in the football market this summer, but in that desire, they sometimes get so carried away that it causes ridicule from business associates from other clubs.

Javier Tebas said some time ago that the Catalan giants do have the financial power to realize the transfer of Nico Williams, and that received a great response from the fans. Probably wanting to stay on that good wave, Joan Laporta and his collaborators started to test to waters around Daniel Olmo, but they got stuck there.

Regardless of the fact that Leipzig would release the Spaniard for 60,000,000 euros - although his buy-out clause has expired, and he can demand much more - Barca do not even have that much to pay straight away. Assuming that they finalize Williams' transfer from Bilbao beforehand... That's why the Catalans came up with the idea of ​​splitting those 60,000,000 into numerous instalments of money, which caused the German club's management to burst into laughter, writes Sport.

So here's how they envisioned it in Barcelona:

- 40,000,000 in annual instalments of 10,000,000 each, starting with payment from 2025!

- 10,000,000 to win two La Ligas by 2029!

- 10,000,000 for winning two Champions Leagues by 2029!

By the way, the offer was put on paper and allegedly sent through an official channel. You know what the answer was from Leipzig...

Dani Olmo is also interesting to Pep Guardiola and Manchester City, but also for Bayern Munich, if Vincent Kompany does not get Xavi Simons or the young Frenchman Desire Doue.
