A few days ago, Barça sporting director Deco confessed that he himself was surprised by the performance of the Azulgrana squad this season. “My idea at the beginning of the season, with the changes we made, was to compete. Competing means fighting to be there. You can’t get to matchday 36 of the championship without fighting to win. But it exceeded expectations a little, because it competed against a strong Real Madrid, and for one reason we are not in the Champions League final. Competing for everything, we won the Super Cup, the Copa del Rey… That was our idea, this is the way forward,” he said.

With this exceptional performance, it is not surprising that no major changes are expected in the squad ahead of the summer transfer market. The idea is that there will be no major departures, but everything could change due to the club’s financial situation. The salary cap has been exceeded and it is necessary to let players go in order to adjust the situation and be able to sign priority targets such as a right-back.

In this regard, there are several names on the way out, such as Ansu Fati, Pablo Torre, Héctor Fort, Araújo… among others. However, Laporta is also open to making some significant sales that would bring money into the coffers. One of the most crowded areas, where a painful departure might not have such a big impact. In midfield, it is not out of the question to say goodbye to Gavi, Fermín or even Dani Olmo, who has attracted a high-profile suitor.

Dani Olmo and a season of ups and downs

Dani Olmo was last summer’s star signing, although his situation was surrounded by controversy and a precautionary measure prevented him from being registered. His registration is valid until June 30, but after that, space will need to be made in the salary cap or he will be free to leave for another team on a free transfer.

On the sporting front, three injuries this season have prevented him from playing regularly. He has missed more than a dozen games through injury, but it is also true that his goals in many of the games he has played have been decisive. He is a player that Hansi Flick likes, but as we said, he has had to deal with his absence on multiple occasions and has found more than valid alternatives.

Guardiola wants Dani Olmo

According to Matteo Moretto in Relevo, Manchester City is looking for an attacking midfielder with very specific characteristics. Guardiola wants a player who can connect lines, create chances, and finish plays. Dani Olmo fits this profile perfectly, which is why he has become a target for the Sky Blues. The English club would even be willing to exceed the €60 million that Barça paid for him to RB Leipzig.

Pep Guardiola has the Spanish international as a priority for his new project. Following the departure of Kevin De Bruyne, the Spanish coach seems to have found the best alternative to replace the Belgian in the Barça youth player. Tijani Reijnders is also liked, but in Olmo’s case, he is liked for his versatility, as he can play as an inside forward or on the left wing, as well as acting as a false striker, something that the City coach likes a lot.

In principle, the player wants to stay at Barça and Barça wants to keep him, but the truth is that the uncertainty surrounding his registration for next season, as well as the financial needs of the Catalan club, could open the door for him to leave for the Premier League under Guardiola.
