Dani Olmo was Barcelona‘s star signing last summer, and although his situation was surrounded by controversy and a precautionary measure was put in place to prevent him from being registered, the player will be able to play 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.
For this reason, and due to the injuries that have plagued him throughout the season, it has not been an easy campaign, but despite the difficulties, he has contributed decisive goals for Hansi Flick’s side, who have always relied on him whenever he has been available.
In his first season as a Barça player, Olmo has scored 11 goals and provided seven assists in the 37 games he has played. His good performances in those games have caught the attention of Guardiola’s City, who, after a poor season, want to strengthen the team to get back to where they were.
According to Matteo Moretto in Relevo, Manchester City is looking for an attacking midfielder with very specific characteristics. Following the departure of Kevin De Bruyne, the Spanish coach seems to have found the best alternative in the Barça youth player. Guardiola wants a player who can connect the lines, create chances, and finish plays, and he has set his sights on the Barça player whom the Sky Blues already wanted in the past.
His agent puts the rumors to rest
Amid uncertainty over Dani Olmo’s future, his agent Andy Bara spoke to Sky Sport Germany about the rumors surrounding the English club. “We are not talking to any other club. Dani is very happy at Barcelona right now, he is winning titles there and is in a great team. The rumors are not true. Although, of course, you never know what the future holds,“ he said.
In line with Dani Olmo’s agent, Deco was emphatic in his statements to ‘Barça One’: ”Dani Olmo will be a very important player next season. We knew everything he could give us.”
