Having impressed for Leipzig in the Bundesliga last season, Olmo helped Spain win Euro 2024, beating England in the final.
Speaking about his departure to the Leipzig website, Olmo said: “It was indescribable to play for this club and in front of these fans.
“It was a dream for me to move from Croatia to Leipzig four-and-a-half years ago.
“The city became my home in recent years, years that have had a huge impact on me as a footballer, but also as a person. I will be forever grateful for that.”
