Barcelona are ready to sell Tottenham Hotspur target Dani Olmo this summer
Tottenham may have just been handed a golden opportunity in the final stretch of the transfer window. Barcelona have decided to listen to offers for Dani Olmo, and Spurs are right at the front of the queue.
The Catalan giants have made the 27-year-old available for transfer, with a price tag believed to be around €70 million. For Spurs, it could be the perfect chance to fill the creative void left by James Maddison’s long-term injury, and bring in a player with the pedigree to change games in an instant.
Why Olmo is suddenly available
According to Fichajes, Olmo’s exit door has been pushed open due to a combination of factors. Barcelona’s rising star Fermín has enjoyed a sensational pre-season and earned Hansi Flick’s trust for a starting role. Add to that Raphinha’s ability to operate in a more central creative role and the potential arrival of Marcus Rashford on the left, and Olmo’s space in the team is shrinking fast.

The Spaniard’s constant injury setbacks since joining from RB Leipzig have also raised concerns at the Camp Nou. While his talent is undeniable, 39 appearances, 12 goals, and seven assists last season, Barça now value physical reliability as much as technical brilliance. With Gavi also able to play as a No. 10, the club see Olmo as a saleable asset who can help ease their financial issues.
Spurs should make the most of this opportunity
For Tottenham, the timing couldn’t be better. Maddison’s absence has left Thomas Frank short of a natural playmaker capable of linking midfield and attack. While Eberechi Eze remains a key target, Olmo offers a different profile, a versatile creative midfielder who can operate centrally, drift wide, and unlock deep-lying defences.
Olmo’s Champions League experience, vision, and close control under pressure make him an ideal fit for Spurs’ attacking patterns. He’s comfortable carrying the ball through tight spaces, threading passes into runners, and chipping in with goals from midfield, exactly what’s needed to maintain creativity in Maddison’s absence.

Daniel Levy needs to account for James Maddison’s long term injury.
Tottenham aren’t alone in monitoring the situation. The Saudi Pro League is also willing to make a big-money offer, but Olmo’s desire to play at the highest level in Europe could work in Spurs’ favour. Barcelona’s €70m asking price is steep, but with his contract running until 2030, the La Liga side hold a strong negotiating hand.
For Daniel Levy, this could be one of the defining moves of the summer. Land Olmo now, and Spurs not only replace Maddison’s creativity for the coming months, they add a world-class talent to the squad for years to come. The clock is ticking, and if Tottenham are serious about keeping their top-four push alive, this is one deal that can’t be allowed to slip away.
