Financial hurdles at Barcelona may force the midfielder’s exit just months after his £52 million move.
Barcelona could face a major setback as midfielder Dani Olmo’s future at the club hangs in the balance due to registration issues. Signed last summer from RB Leipzig for £52 million, the 26-year-old Spain international has only been registered with La Liga until December 31. Reports indicate that Barcelona’s ongoing financial troubles might prevent his registration for the remainder of the season, activating a clause that could allow him to leave on a free transfer.
Arsenal and Manchester City are reportedly monitoring the situation closely, with Bayern Munich also expressing interest. Olmo has been impressive this season, contributing five goals in 10 league appearances, but his potential departure would leave a significant gap in Barcelona’s lineup.
Barcelona executives, including club president Joan Laporta and sporting director Deco, are working against the clock to resolve the issue. The club’s financial struggles have been well-documented, and this latest challenge adds to their difficulties in maintaining a competitive squad.
The Gunners, in particular, could see this as an opportunity to bolster their squad as they push for a Premier League title under Mikel Arteta. Meanwhile, Manchester City may also consider adding the Euro 2024 winner to their already stacked midfield.
As the January transfer window approaches, Olmo’s situation will be closely watched by Europe’s top clubs. Barcelona’s ability to navigate their financial woes will be crucial in retaining one of their standout players.
