According to a report from Fichajes, Manchester City would have shown great interest in signing Dani Olmo from Barcelona, creating uncertainty around the midfielder’s future at the Catalan club.
Olmo joined Barcelona in the summer for around €50m, but Barcelona’s continued financial difficulties have led to complications with his registration.
These issues with the Spanish Football Federation and La Liga have raised concerns about the stability of Olmo’s contract, putting Barcelona at risk of losing him.
The contract Olmo signed with Barcelona reportedly includes a clause that could allow him to leave the club if the transfer does not go through as initially agreed with La Liga. This clause has created an opening that rival clubs have been quick to take advantage of.
Manchester City, attentive
Manchester City, always interested in reinforcing its squad with quality players, would be interested in taking advantage of Barcelona’s problems and acquiring Olmo at no cost.
At Manchester City, Olmo is seen as a very valuable player. His ability to play both in midfield and on the wings makes him a versatile and dynamic option, which would adapt to Manchester City’s style of play.
Known for their possession-based football and tactical flexibility, the Premier League champions could use Olmo to add depth and creativity to their attacking options.
As Barcelona faces these financial and registration obstacles, the city is well positioned to act quickly. Although other clubs could also be interested, the complications surrounding Olmo’s contract give them a clear advantage.
This situation, which is still developing, could become a major transfer opportunity for the Premier League side if Barcelona cannot resolve the issue in time.
For now, Olmo’s future remains uncertain. Barcelona are working to resolve issues surrounding his contract, but with Manchester City watching closely, the Spanish midfielder’s next move could take an unexpected turn.
