The relationship between Barcelona and LaLiga is at a breaking point. The conflicts between both parties do not cease, and the case of Dani Olmo has become a key piece in this institutional war. Amid the tension, the Spanish attacking midfielder finds himself at the center of a dispute that could end his stay at FC Barcelona.
A Conflict That Worsens
The dispute between Barça and LaLiga grew when Tebas resorted to the courts after the CSD's approval for Olmo and Pau Víctor. In the absence of a resolution to this conflict, Barcelona issued a statement accusing LaLiga of violating the confidentiality of their finances, which further increased tensions.
Barça demanded that LaLiga stop disclosing their financial details, highlighting the distrust between both entities. The situation not only affects the club but also complicates the registration possibilities for players, as is the case with Dani Olmo.
The Offer Olmo Can't Refuse
While the situation in Barcelona becomes more complicated, Dani Olmo remains a player desired by major European clubs. Manchester City, which had already shown interest in him during his time at RB Leipzig, is more alert than ever to his situation at Barça. Pep Guardiola, a fan of his playing style, sees Olmo as an excellent option to replace Kevin De Bruyne, who announced his departure at the end of the 2024-2025 season.
Although Barça doesn't want to sell Olmo, registration problems could make major European clubs stay alert. Manchester City and Arsenal, among others, would be willing to sign him at no cost if the situation is not solved.
The Uncertain Future of the Attacking Midfielder
Barcelona, aware of the difficulties it faces regarding its financial situation, is at a crossroads. Dani Olmo is a key piece in their sports project, and although the attacking midfielder has always shown his desire to stay, external pressure could lead him to consider irresistible offers.
His agent, Andy Bara, has made it clear that FC Barcelona remains the "first and last option" for the footballer. However, the complications with registration and tempting offers from other clubs could change the course.
The poor start to the season and Olmo's injuries, along with the economic situation, could force his departure. Although his clause is 500M, Barcelona could be forced to reconsider their stance if the financial situation worsens.
