During the summer, Dani Olmo was a success in the European Championship, and was the highest contributor to Spain's gold medal.

Now, a few months later, the 26-year-old is ready for Barcelona.

The offensive midfielder is leaving German RB Leipzig for the Spanish giant club.

I'm very happy, it's a dream come true. I'm extremely happy to return home, to my family and my teammates in the national team. I'm super excited to get started, he says to the club's website.

The move means that Olmo, despite his nationality, will play in his home country for the first time in his professional career. As early as 16, he moved from Barcelona's youth academy to Dinamo Zagreb in Croatia, before signing with Leipzig in 2020.

The contract is written until the summer of 2030, and the transfer is reportedly worth a total of 60 million euros, equivalent to approximately 689 million kronor.
