Overview

• Barcelona’s payment of €2.8 million to RB Leipzig was triggered by Dani Olmo’s 12 goals and 7 assists in 39 matches during a domestic treble-winning season.
• The payout stems from a performance-related bonus clause in Olmo’s €55 million transfer from Leipzig last summer.
• Barça could owe up to €4.2 million more through 2030 if further milestones, notably a Champions League win, are achieved.
• The club must reconcile this unexpected expense while managing over €1.2 billion in debt and past LaLiga registration blocks.
• Barcelona’s urgent need to free up funds coincides with the July 9 deadline for triggering Nico Williams’s €60–62 million release clause.
