Dani Olmo's Future at Barcelona in Jeopardy Amid Financial Crisis
Dani Olmo’s Future at Barcelona in Doubt Amid Financial Struggles
Barcelona faces the potential loss of their summer signing, Dani Olmo, due to ongoing financial challenges that could prevent his registration for La Liga’s second half of the season. This situation has sparked concerns about Olmo’s future, with his agent recently seen in Manchester, further fueling speculation.
Barcelona’s Financial Woes Impact Olmo
Olmo, who was brought in as Barcelona’s marquee summer signing after the club failed to secure Nico Williams, is now at risk of leaving on a free transfer in January. Barcelona’s financial constraints have reached a critical point, making it difficult to include the 26-year-old midfielder in their squad for the remainder of the season.
Despite his initial desire to stay, Olmo and his representatives are reportedly exploring alternative options to avoid being sidelined. The player’s agent, Andy Bara, was recently in Manchester, reportedly on holiday, but also attended Manchester City’s match against Everton, raising speculation of potential talks.
Barcelona’s Dilemma and Next Steps
Barcelona is scrambling to resolve their financial troubles, either by making player sales or finding another solution to retain Olmo. German coach Hansi Flick, who has favored Fermin Lopez in recent matches due to Olmo’s injuries and fitness concerns, is determined to keep the midfielder as part of his plans.
Olmo’s departure would be a significant setback for Barcelona, especially considering his strong start to the season before injuries hampered his contributions.
