Barcelona are reportedly lining up a swoop to bring former academy player Dani Olmo back to the club following his exploits for Spain at Euro 2024.
26-year-old Olmo contributed with three goals and two assists for La Roja as Luis de la Fuente's side claimed their country's record fourth Euros triumph.
The attacking midfielder's performances in Germany look to have captured Barcelona's attention, with the Catalan giants odds-on to acquire Olmo's services this summer.

A native of Catalonia, Olmo spent time at both Espanyol and Barcelona as a youngster before making a surprise move to Croatia with Dinamo Zagreb in 2014.
The technically gifted midfielder quickly developed into a key player for the Croatian giants, accumulating five national league titles before landing a transfer to the Bundesliga with RB Leipzig in 2020.
Famed for their reputation for developing promising stars including Josko Gvardiol, Dominik Szoboszlai and Christopher Nkunku, Olmo has proved an inspired signing by Leipzig - registering eight goals and five assists in all competitions last term including a sensational hat-trick against Bayern Munich in the DFL-Supercup.
Olmo reportedly had a £51m release clause in his contract with Leipzig, but this expired on Monday 15th July - the day after Spain's 2-1 win over England in the Euros final.
It now remains to be seen how much Leipzig would be willing to accept for one of their prized assets, with La Liga giants Barcelona seemingly at the front of the queue.
Pep Guardiola's Manchester City have also been credited with interest in Olmo, with Atletico Madrid, Bayern Munich and Chelsea other potential destinations for the coveted Spain international.
