Barcelona are set to miss out on highly-rated Dinamo Zagreb star Dani Olmo this month, according to Mundo Deportivo.

The Spanish newspaper claim that the 21-year-old is 'very close' to joining German side RB Leipzig as he looks to improve his chances of making Spain's Euro 2020 squad.

Barca have a long-term interest in Olmo, who came through the club's famous La Masia academy before joining Zagreb when he was just 16.

They had considered re-signing him this month, but Mundo Deportivo say that he does not fit the profile of the player they want to replace Luis Suarez.

The Uruguayan has been ruled out for four months with a knee injury and new boss Quique Setien is keen to land a traditional No 9 to replace him.

Olmo plays mainly as an attacking midfielder or on the wing, and is therefore not a priority for La Liga's leaders.

Manchester United, Chelsea and AC Milan have also been strongly linked with a move for the £26million-rated star, who has a contract until 2021 with Dinamo.

However, he now looks set to make a move to the Bundesliga to link up with Julian Nagelsmann's table-toppers.

Leipzig are said to be in advanced negotiations with the Croatian side as they look to strengthen their squad and seal their first ever top-flight title.
