Manchester City have officially set their sights on Dani Olmo. The 27-year-old Spanish attacking midfielder, recently back at FC Barcelona after a successful stint at RB Leipzig, has caught the eye of Pep Guardiola, who is actively looking for a long-term replacement for Kevin De Bruyne, expected to leave this summer.
But beyond Olmo’s technical and tactical appeal, it’s Barcelona’s delicate financial situation that could tip the scales. Still under the weight of LaLiga’s financial fair play rules, the Catalan club needs to sell before it can buy—a reality that could force their hand.
While Hansi Flick reportedly wants to keep Olmo, the player is not considered untouchable. And according to Relevo, a €60–70 million offer from City could be enough to convince Barça’s board, who initially had no plans to sell one of their few versatile midfielders.
City have the financial firepower to move quickly, and this story could develop fast.
One to watch.
