Olmo reveals he received offers from Barca & Premier League clubs before sealing RB Leipzig switch

Dani Olmo has confirmed that he received an offer to return to Barcelona and turned down proposals from Premier League clubs before completing a move to RB Leipzig in the winter transfer window.

Olmo emerged as one of the brightest prospects in Europe last year after playing a starring role in Spain's Under-21 European Championships triumph and helping Dinamo Zagreb qualify for the Champions League.

A number of top clubs were reportedly linked with the 21-year-old, including Manchester United, Bayern Munich and Paris Saint-Germain, but Camp Nou was touted as his most likely next destination.
