Manchester City is interested in signing the Barcelona midfielder Dani Olmo while preparing to miss the signature of Bayer Leverkusens Florian Wirtz, according to a report.
City is looking for new midfield magic while preparing to say goodbye to Kevin de Bruyne at the end of the season. Wirtz has long been advertised as a dream destination, but the German international was increasingly connected to Bayern Munich and forced the city to look for elsewhere.
The list of alternative goals is long Relevo Enter, it is Olmo who is highest on the city’s wish list.
Pep Guardiola’s site was one of many who were speculative with Olmo during the transfer window in January when his departure from Barcelona was feasible for a free transfer due to the registration debacle that continues to this day.
The City boss is supposed to dream of luring Olmo to the Etihad Stadium this summer and making the Spanish international the top midfield, and it is even suspected that Olmo is now sitting higher than Wirtz on Guardiola’s shortlist.
Barcelona paid € 47 million for the signing of Olmo from RB Leipzig last summer and has no desire to separate from the 27-year-old, whose love for the club is a large part of the reason why he is still there in view of the registration uncertainty.
Apart from that, City has the finances to make an offer that Barcelona may take into account. However, you will probably require a significant fee to part with a player who was regularly a starter under Hansi Flick.
Olmo is contractual to Barcelona by 2030, which means that the selected La Liga Champions are not under pressure to agree to a sale from this perspective. Much can depend on the final decision to register Olmo, which was sent back to the national court, since La Liga continues to argue that Barcelona does not have the finances that are necessary to play the midfielder.
