The tension in Barça's midfield has skyrocketed in recent weeks. Internal competition has caused friction, exchanged glances, and technical decisions that are difficult for some players to understand. One of them has already made it clear that he isn't willing to share the spotlight with a profile he considers incompatible.
Dani Olmo has been very direct with his inner circle and the coaching staff. He doesn't understand some of Flick's decisions. He believes that his performance and hierarchy deserve a more stable role in the starting line-up.
The problem for him lies in the accumulation of footballers who play in his same area. He thinks that this saturation harms him. He has clearly communicated that his professional relationship with one of his teammates isn't good.
Meanwhile, a European club has identified this situation as a market opportunity. They've decided to act without hesitation.
Psg makes a move for a key Barça player
Luis Enrique is clear about it: he wants to strengthen the midfield with a technical, mobile profile who can get forward. Despite having names like Fabián Ruiz, Vitinha, or Zaire-Emery, he believes something is missing. The chosen one is a Barça player who has had minutes, but not continuity.
From Paris, they haven't wasted any time. They've already contacted his inner circle to learn about availability, expectations, and contract clauses. The response has been positive: there's willingness to talk if a serious proposal is presented.
At Camp Nou, they aren't closing the exit door, although they aren't going to give him away either. He's a footballer with market value and international projection. In addition, he has a long-term contract and is considered one of the jewels of the academy.
The player, meanwhile, wants to stay. But if he isn't guaranteed a leading role, he'd be willing to listen to offers that allow him to grow.
World Cup 2026, a personal priority
There's a very specific goal that sets the course for his short-term career: the World Cup. He wants to be on Luis de la Fuente's final list for the 2026 tournament. He knows that without minutes at Barça, his presence in the squad is at risk.
He has already discussed it with his close circle. He isn't considering being a substitute for the entire season. He has ambition, confidence, and offers on the table.
His performance hasn't gone unnoticed. In France, they value him for his tactical intelligence, pressing aggression, and ability to get into the box. Luis Enrique, who has already followed him closely in the past, insists on signing him as soon as possible.
Barça offered him a contract renewal a few months ago and he accepted without conditions. But his contract doesn't have absolute protection if a strong proposal arrives.
Psg puts up the money and closes the deal
The French club's first offer was cautious. But due to the lack of a quick response, they decided to raise it significantly. PSG has already submitted a total proposal of 80 million euros to Barça.
The deal will be closed in the coming days, unless there's an unexpected last-minute twist. Flick doesn't consider him an undisputed starter. Dani Olmo has made it known that he doesn't want to share space with him in the squad.
The player heading to Paris, in exchange for 80 million, is Fermín López. A La Masia talent who dreamed of succeeding at Camp Nou... but who will fly to France so he doesn't have to stay on the bench of his idol.
