Despite not disclosing the transfer fee, which media reports have put at around 55 million euros ($60 million), Barca confirmed that his buy-out clause was set at 500 million euros.

The versatile Olmo was a vital part of his country’s Euro 2024 triumph, finishing as one the tournament’s top scorers with three goals and one of six Spain players in UEFA’s team of the tournament.

Earlier on Friday, Olmo announced he was leaving the club after more than four years. He has played 148 times for the team in all competitions, scoring 29 goals and winning two German Cups.

“Two Cups and the Super Cup are just some of the many unforgettable moments that’ll always stay with me. Thank you RB Leipzig, you’ll forever be in my heart,” Olmo said on social media.
