It shouldn't be surprising that Atlético de Madrid is one of the six clubs interested in signing Dani Olmo.
Dani Olmo will be free tonight when the New Year's Eve chimes ring. Starting January 1, he will no longer be registered in the league. According to his contract, he will be free to sign with whomever he wants.
All of this is contingent on FC Barcelona not finding a solution to their financial fair play issue. One solution could be paying the guarantee from its president and directors' own assets.
The 6 Clubs Interested in Dani Olmo
Additionally, FC Barcelona is obligated to pay the player the full amount of the signed contract. They also owe his previous club, Leipzig, the remaining transfer fee.
According to a report from fichajes.com, up to five European clubs have shown interest in Dani Olmo, always with the intention of signing him if Barça's legal issue doesn't end well.
The Times mentions Manchester City, Manchester United, and Arsenal from the Premier League. However, PSG and Bayern have also shown interest in him.
In Spain, the club that has shown the most interest in the Catalan international has been Atlético de Madrid, according to this digital newspaper.
Curiously, the Madrid club has been very active in seeking the maximum detriment for Barça in this case.
New Defeat for Lawyer Laporta in Court
Along with Athletic and Sevilla, they have pressured LaLiga to prevent the judge from granting a provisional measure to Dani Olmo. That is what had happened last season with Gavi.
Atlético de Madrid has executed a typical counterattack play. They prepared the move from defense and overwhelmed Barça during the attack. They were caught off guard by the speed of the Madrid team.
Enrique Cerezo and his team have once again proven superior preparation for handling legal situations. Although Laporta is a lawyer, solving issues in court is not his forte.
