“He promised us and kept our word. Although there were still some turbulent actions on the home stretch, ”Leipzig Sports Director Markus Krösche (39) reports on the transfer negotiations.

So Bayern wanted to slip in between, Dortmund and AC Milan were also on it. And with Barcelona – where Olmo was trained – the negotiations were very far.

But Krösche did not hesitate long and tricked the other top clubs: he quickly made an appointment, flew to Olmo in Zagreb, convinced him of Leipzig. Coach Julian Nagelsmann (32) replied by phone!

And Olmo is happy: “I am convinced that the club is the best decision for me. The Bundesliga is a big challenge for me. “



The offensive player, who has Lionel Messi and Andres Iniesta as role models, trained with the team for the first time on Monday.

Olmo can play in all four offensive positions, but prefers the ten behind the leaders. With Marcel Sabitzer, Christopher Nkunku and Emil Forsberg, however, he has great competition there. On Saturday (6.30 p.m.) in the home game against Gladbach, Olmo is in the squad for the first time, and at best should even make his debut.

His long-term goal is the European Championship in June / July. Olmo, who debuted 7-0 against Malta for Spain’s senior national team in November: “I would like to recommend myself for the tournament with my performance. But there is still a long way to go. ”
