Official, Leaves Barça to Join Tottenham: Dani Olmo Loses His Best Friend

FC Barcelona sees how one of the great promises of European soccer takes another path

The transfer market moves quickly, and one of the most promising gems in European soccer is very close to changing teams. His power, speed, and goal-scoring instinct have made him one of the most sought-after forwards at the moment. At 21 years old, he has already shown that he has enough quality to make the leap to a major league.

In recent months, his name has been linked to several giants of European soccer. He is a forward with both present and future, capable of making a difference in any team.  His performance has caught the attention of top-tier clubs, and his departure from his current team seems only a matter of time.

At FC Barcelona, his name was on the table, but the club has decided to step back from his signing. The operation, which involved a significant figure, has been discarded by the sports management, which prefers to focus on other priority reinforcements.

Dani Olmo and His Teammate's Farewell

One of the players most closely following this situation is Dani Olmo, who has shared a locker room with the forward in the Bundesliga. They have both formed a key partnership in the attack, becoming one of the most interesting duos in German soccer.

Olmo, who has also been linked to Barça in recent months, knows that his friend is about to say goodbye to face a new challenge in England. Meanwhile, at Camp Nou, the club has made the decision not to compete for his signing and to prioritize other reinforcements.

The Premier League, His Next Destination

Meanwhile, Barça steps away from the race for his signing, the major Premier League clubs have entered strongly. Three English teams have shown real interest in securing his addition:

  • Arsenal
  • Manchester United
  • Tottenham Hotspur

Arsenal seems to be the best-positioned team. Their coach values his profile and sees him as the ideal forward to complete their offensive project. However, Manchester United and Tottenham are not far behind and could make an offer at any moment.

Despite their great economic power, Manchester City hasn't entered the bidding for now.

The Premier's Chosen One

The forward who is about to land in the Premier League is none other than Benjamin Sesko. At 21 years old, the Slovenian forward has excelled with RB Leipzig, establishing himself as one of the most promising strikers in Europe.

According to journalist Florian Plettenberg, Sesko's release clause, set at 80 million euros, could be activated this summer. With Arsenal leading the race for his signing, and with Manchester United and Tottenham lurking, his future seems far from Germany.

At Barça, his name was mentioned as an interesting option. But the price and the lack of urgency in the forward position led the club to discard him. With his destination almost defined, his story with Barça remains a mere market rumor.

Meanwhile, in the Premier, they are already preparing to welcome him, while at Camp Nou they remain focused on their own restructuring. Letting go of a forward who, in another financial context, could have worn the blue and red jersey.
