Barcelona is set to receive a significant financial boost, amounting to €40 million, shortly after finalising the agreement to sign Dani Olmo from RB Leipzig.

This cash influx comes from a deal made with the German company Libero, which agreed to purchase a percentage of Barca Studios last year​.

According to Diario AS, Barca have struck a deal with catering company Aramark to clear the €40m deficit.

Spotify and Nike are also expected to chip in with some funding to help Barca return to the 1:1 rule without selling any players.

Dani Olmo, who was part of Barcelona’s famed La Masia academy from 2007 to 2014, has been a standout performer for RB Leipzig and the Spanish national team. His transfer is structured with a €60 million release clause that Barcelona needed to trigger.

Olmo had a strong 2023/24 season, contributing significantly to RB Leipzig’s campaign and performing well in Euro 2024​.

This financial boost is timely for Barcelona as they continue to rebuild and strengthen their squad under the new management, aiming for better performance in the upcoming season​.

With this incoming funds, Barcelona will have no issue registering Dani Olmo.
