FC Barcelona has officially announced that they have successfully signed midfielder Daniel Omo from RB Leipzig. The deal is rumored to be worth as much as 60 million euros (about HK$510 million), which is undoubtedly a huge expenditure for Barcelona who is facing financial difficulties. Meanwhile, there is news that in order to balance their finances, Barcelona intends to sell midfielder Frankie Dijon, which has also attracted the attention of Manchester United.
Daniel Omo has officially joined Barcelona after agreeing personal contract details, with RB Leipzig accepting a corresponding offer. The 26-year-old Spanish international trained with the Barcelona youth team before heading to Dinamo Zagreb in Croatia until January 2020 when he joined RB Leipzig. Returning to his homeland, he said: "It's great to be back, there are a lot of national teammates here and together we will fight to win all the titles.
Daniel Omo scored eight goals in 25 appearances for RB Leipzig last season and has been a key player for the Spanish champions after making six appearances in this year's European national team tournament, contributing three goals and two assists.
According to Spanish media, Barcelona plans to sell Frankie Dijon for a transfer fee of 60 to 70 million euros. In fact, there have been numerous reports about Barcelona's desire to sell the Dutch international. Manchester United has been showing strong interest in the player. However, Dijon himself wanted to stay with the team, so the transfer failed to materialize. With two years left on his contract, it seems that Barcelona need to speed up the transfer.
