Dani Olmo will leave RB Leipzig in 2024, with FC Barcelona most likely his next destination according to BILD in Germany.
Olmo is currently considered one of the best players in the Bundesliga but could be sold by his current club because of a restructuring of their finances.
Leipzig made an impressive €250 million ($265 million) in player sales last summer and, according to BILD sources, only need a further €60 million ($64 million) to balance the books in areas.
Olmo could be sold for exactly this amount or as much as €65 million ($69 million), with his dream club Barca the most likely party to come forward and sign him according to the German outlet.
BILD adds that Olmo's father Miquel and advisor Andy Bara have spoken to Barca numerous times about a possible reunion. They even held a private meeting in Qatar regarding a possible transfer last winter, as Olmo represented Spain at the World Cup.
As implied, Olmo has previous with Barca after joining them from cross-city rivals Espanyol as a nine-year-old.
Olmo, now 25, looked certain to graduate from La Masia but then completed a shock move to Dinamo Zagreb aged 16.
The forward turned professional in Croatia, where he was loved by fans of the club from the capital while also winning awards for the league's best player and best young star.
He moved to Leipzig in January 2020, helping them reach the semi-finals of the Champions League later that year, and has constantly been linked to a second stint at Barca in past transfer windows.
As must be said on every occasion that a report of this nature emerges, raising the funds required to land Olmo won't be straightfoward for debt-ridden Barca.
They would need to complete player sales to even contemplate making an approach for Olmo, with Raphinha and Ferran Torres likely candidates for the chopping block.
According to El Nacional, Barca will try to sell Raphinha for the Olmo's fee in January.
Ansu Fati might be offloaded in 2024 as well, but he is currently struggling to find his way into the first team on loan at Brighton which complicates finding prospective buyers.
