Barcelona’s Meeting with Dani Olmo’s Father: An Unexpected Purpose

Barcelona’s sporting director, Deco, recently held a meeting with the father of Leipzig forward Dani Olmo, as reported by Diario Sport. Despite speculation surrounding Olmo’s potential return to Barcelona, the meeting took an unexpected turn.

While Olmo’s future may have been the initial focus, it was revealed that the meeting centered around Barcelona Athletic defender Mikayil Faye, who is represented by Olmo’s father. Discussions revolved around the possibility of a salary increase for the promising centre-back.

Faye, of Senegalese descent, has shown promise with appearances on the first team’s bench in recent weeks. Barcelona anticipates a more prominent role for him in the upcoming season. Despite interest from clubs like Bayer Leverkusen, Manchester United, and Juventus, Barcelona aims to secure Faye’s future with a potential contract adjustment.
