Arsenal eyeing Barcelona’s troubled Dani Olmo

The fact that Barcelona is having trouble obtaining Dani Olmo permanent registration has greatly increased Arsenal’s chances of acquiring the midfield player. According to Fabrizio Romano’s article on X, Barcelona’s most recent attempt to register Olmo and fellow acquisition Pau Víctor was denied.

Olmo’s future is unknown as a result of this decision; if the problems are not resolved, the player may become a free agent on January 1, 2025. Barcelona’s financial difficulties are at the core of the problem. The team has been unable to fulfill the requirements for Olmo’s complete registration due to strict La Liga salary cap constraints.

Although the 26-year-old has been playing on a provisional basis, Barcelona’s attempt to secure his eligibility for the rest of the season was rejected by a recent court decision.

Top teams, including Arsenal, have expressed interest in the midfielder due to the uncertainty surrounding his future. According to reports, they have been in “regular and positive contact” with Olmo’s representatives.

Olmo’s adaptability and inventiveness are reportedly admired by manager Mikel Arteta, who would strengthen the Gunners’ offensive strategy.

Olmo’s popularity has further increased as a result of his outstanding performances during Spain’s successful Euro 2024 campaign, where he won the Golden Boot in a six-way tie.

He is a dynamic addition to any team because of his versatility as an attacking midfielder, winger, or false nine. Olmo began his football career in Barcelona’s renowned La Masia program before relocating to Dinamo Zagreb, where he developed into one of Europe’s most promising players.

He moved to RB Leipzig in 2020 as a result of his performances in Croatia, where he kept up his impressive play.

Olmo has made 324 appearances in all competitions during his career, tallying an incredible 73 goals and 64 assists. He scored 34 goals and provided 28 assists in 124 games during his time at Dinamo Zagreb, and he scored 29 goals and provided 34 assists in 148 games during his time in the Bundesliga with Leipzig.

Olmo has provided five goals in 11 La Liga games since rejoining Barcelona this season. (Market for Transfers) Arsenal will keep a careful eye on things as Barcelona works through a crucial 24-hour window to resolve their financial problems. The Gunners’ chances in both local and European competitions might be greatly improved by acquiring Dani Olmo.
