Barcelona face a race against time as they look to register their summer signing Dani Olmo in the coming days.
The Catalans have until December 31 to register Olmo, whose salary was initially linked to Andreas Christensen. But that temporary measure expires at the end of the month.
Barcelona is actively working on many economic levers that can help them register Olmo and at the same time explore judicial avenues.
In the event that Barça does not register Olmo in time, the player has a special clause in his contract that would allow him to leave for free, which would allow him to hold talks with other European clubs.
Manchester United wants to sign Olmo
According to BBC Manchester Radio, Manchester United have become a potential suitor for Olmo as his registration problems drag on.
The Premier League giants are exploring a move for the Barcelona playmaker, should the Catalans fail to register him in time.
This comes against the backdrop of Olmo’s agent’s recent arrival in England, with Arsenal and Manchester City closely monitoring the player’s situation.
It seems Man United have also joined the race as the Red Devils desperately look for some reinforcements in the creative department.
Olmo has a solid market in the Premier League thanks to his excellent career at RB Leipzig and the Spanish national team.
However, it should be noted that Olmo’s priority is to continue at Barcelona. The club, for its part, is also optimistic about the registration process, despite the fact that time is running out.
Barcelona is betting heavily on one more precautionary measure. But if that plan fails, Barça has the option of selling VIP seat sales at the Camp Nou, which could mean an entry of 120 million euros.
