The Paris Saint-Germain (PSG) could make a major move in the transfer market by targeting Dani Olmo, currently playing for FC Barcelona.
Barcelona is facing significant financial issues that are preventing them from registering the Spanish international for the second half of the season, according to L’Équipe. If the club is unable to resolve this situation before Friday, Dani Olmo could become a free agent this winter, attracting interest from several top European clubs, including PSG.
A Complex Situation at Barcelona
FC Barcelona, still entangled in salary cap restrictions imposed by La Liga, has been unable to register Dani Olmo for the upcoming season. This deadlock could present a rare opportunity for rivals. Despite a non-aggression pact between PSG’s sporting director Luis Campos and Barcelona’s director Deco, the Parisian club is prepared to act swiftly should Olmo become available.

Luis Enrique Drawn to Olmo’s Profile
According to AS, PSG coach Luis Enrique is already familiar with Dani Olmo, having worked with him in the Spanish national team. Enrique could deploy him as a “false number 9”, a role well-suited to Olmo’s style of play. His potential arrival at the Parc des Princes could also serve as a solution to compensate for a possible departure of Randal Kolo Muani, who has struggled to establish himself in Paris.
An Explosive Affair Between Paris and Barcelona
Despite the clear interest, PSG must tread carefully. Any move on this deal could reignite tensions between the two clubs, which have been marked by past disagreements, especially over Neymar and Lionel Messi. For now, Dani Olmo has shown loyalty to Barcelona. His agent has stated that the player does not wish to leave Catalonia.
A Loan or Permanent Transfer?
If negotiations do not progress favorably for Barcelona, PSG may look at a six-month loan as a possible solution to bring Olmo in while respecting his current contract terms. The key question is whether this option could materialize without sparking an open conflict between the two footballing giants.
The resolution is expected in the coming days. One thing is certain: PSG remains on alert, ready to seize the opportunity if it arises.
