Dani Olmo's Barcelona decision REVEALED! Spain star's agent explains transfer plan amid Barca contract chaos and January interest

Super Cup

Athletic Club

Barcelona

<p>Olmo’s move to Barcelona from RB Leipzig last summer came with significant fanfare after the Blaugrana secured his services for <a href="https://www.goal.com/en-gb/lists/barcelona-reach-agreement-sign-dani-olmo-set-to-return-to-camp-nou-on-long-term-contract/blt0999999358e36ae3#csa22696ad516dc870" target="_blank">€62m (£51m/$64m).</a> However, due to ongoing financial struggles, the club have to this point been unable to register him with La Liga for the second half of the season.</p>

WHAT HAPPENED?

<p>Barcelona recently received a <a href="https://www.goal.com/en/lists/barcelona-strike-deal-dani-olmo-future-nears-resolution-amid-registration-hurdles/blt78a8392f283cb1e4#cs797238d7293f4808" target="_blank">€100m </a>(£83m/$104m)<a href="https://www.goal.com/en/lists/barcelona-strike-deal-dani-olmo-future-nears-resolution-amid-registration-hurdles/blt78a8392f283cb1e4#cs797238d7293f4808" target="_blank"> cash injection</a> by selling VIP boxes at the newly renovated Camp Nou to Middle Eastern investors. This substantial boost is expected to allow the club to register Olmo and other players, bringing them back under La Liga's 1:1 financial rule for player signings.</p>

THE BIGGER PICTURE

<p>It has been reported that the likes of Manchester City and Manchester United were closely monitoring Olmo's situation. A clause in his contract stipulated that he could terminate his deal with Barcelona if he wasn't registered by January 1, sparking interest from top clubs across Europe. City had been tracking Olmo even before his move to Barcelona, considering him a perfect fit for Pep Guardiola’s system. In the summer of 2023, it is said City attempted to sign him but ultimately missed out. Meanwhile, United’s board viewed Olmo as a golden opportunity, with his potential availability as a free agent offering a chance to secure a high-calibre player without a transfer fee.</p>

DID YOU KNOW?

<p>Despite growing interest, Olmo’s agent decisively ended the speculation. Speaking to <a href="https://www.givemesport.com/exclusive-fabrizio-romano-drops-huge-olmo-update-amid-man-utd-and-man-city-links/" target="_blank"><em>GiveMeSport</em></a>, he stated, "The decision made by Dani is to stay at Barcelona as he wants to play for Barca. We are not considering any other option. Dani wants to play for Barcelona."</p>

WHAT OLMO'S AGENT SAID

<p>Barcelona had previously launched a lawsuit against La Liga in an effort to register Olmo and others who remained in contractual limbo. However, with the recent financial backing, the club is expected to withdraw their case with the Court of First Instance. This could clear the way for Olmo’s full integration into the squad without further legal complications.</p>
