The Spain international has signed a six-year contract at the club until June 2030, with a release clause set at €500m.
He made 124 appearances for the Croatian side before signing for Leipzig in 2020, where he won two DFB-Pokals and a DFL-Supercup, scoring a hat trick in the final last year in a 3-0 win over Bayern Munich.
“A young club, a young player … We grew up, won our first trophies and made history together,” Olmo said on Instagram, announcing his departure from Leipzig.
“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 has also excelled for Spain and played a major role in their victorious European Championship campaign this summer, scoring three times and providing two assists in his six games.
