Earlier this week it was confirmed that Dani Olmo would continue to register for the rest of the season as a Barcelona player this is not only good news for the side of Hansi Flick in their attempt to win several trophies by the end of the campaign, but also for keeping the Spain International in the long-term club.
In January, when Olmo was originally registered by La Liga, it was reported that Barcelona's failure to secure re-registration would mean that the 26-year-old could terminate his contract and leave for free. Although that possibility was never considered by the player himself, there could have been doubts about his continuity.
And if that was, Manchester City hoped to take advantage. According to Sport, the soon Prime Minister League champions that were too brutally made contact with Olmo when his registration was still in Limbo. They made it clear that they were very interested in signing him if he left Barcelona.
Man City loses Kevin De Bruyne at the end of the season when his contract ends, as has already been confirmed by both parties. And Olmo was seen as an ideal replacement, although their chances of praising him from Barcelona looks unlikely now that his registration problem has been resolved.
Barcelona has made it clear that they see Olmo as a vitally important player, and Flick has him in his “Gala XI” next to Frenkie de Jong and Pedri in midfield. The Catalans were determined to secure his registration because he was appreciated, and that feeling would be appreciated by the man himself if he thinks or a move would be a good idea.
For now, Olmo remains in Barcelona, but it is still to be seen whether he is searched by Man City during the summer transfer window.
