Barça's sports management is preparing for a summer that promises to be as hectic as it is decisive for many players on the squad. With several departures on the table and signings to be defined, Deco and company are working on multiple fronts to keep the team's competitiveness without neglecting the Catalan club's finances. In the midst of this scenario, Hansi Flick has already conveyed his first ideas, making it clear that he wants a balanced squad with much more depth for key moments of the season.
In that sense, one of the players who has gained importance in this process is Dani Olmo. The Spaniard, who returned to the club last summer after shining in Germany, has contributed vision, commitment, and versatility in a campaign of collective ups and downs. Although his performance has been irregular at times, the coaching staff values his talent, ability to adapt to different systems, and his impact in the most important matches.
the market sets its sights on him
However, Dani Olmo's future could take an unexpected turn. With Kevin De Bruyne's departure to Arabia, Manchester City has already moved to find a replacement, and Pep Guardiola is a great admirer of the Spanish attacking midfielder. The City coach has placed him as a priority on his list: his profile fits perfectly with the Catalan coach's scheme, and he is a particular fan of his playing style.
From England, they claim that the English club would be willing to offer up to 60 million euros for Dani Olmo. Although Barça keep the stance that he is not for sale, the figure has caused internal debate. On one hand, it is a possible capital gain in less than a year, but the departure of a key player would alter the sports plans in a very important area.
However, Manchester City is not the only offeror. In recent hours, Bayern Munich has gained a lot of ground and is emerging as a very serious option to secure Dani Olmo's signing. The Bavarian club values his versatility and international experience and could launch an offensive of more than 80M if they perceive that the player is willing to change scenery this summer.
player with present and future
Meanwhile, Dani Olmo doesn't contemplate a departure. He is comfortable in Barcelona, motivated by the new project, and with the desire to establish himself as an important piece under Flick's leadership. Trained at La Masia, his return to the club always had a special emotional charge, and he doesn't want his second stint to end so soon.
The truth is that there are those who do not rule out any scenario at Barça's top management. If City decides to insist with a more attractive offer—whether with variables or alternative formulas like a loan with a mandatory purchase—the club will be forced to evaluate it carefully. For now, Olmo is untouchable, but in a volatile market like the current one, any movement can change the roadmap.
