The transfer market still hasn't had its final say and FC Barcelona finds itself immersed in new unexpected negotiations. Despite having already completed several key moves this summer, the sporting management led by Deco keeps receiving proposals from all over Europe. The most surprising one in recent hours has come from Paris, where PSG has put an exchange on the table that no one expected.
The French side is looking to bring in Dani Olmo, last year's Barça signing, who's attracted great interest due to his immediate impact. The Catalan midfielder has shown his versatility, being able to play as a central midfielder, attacking midfielder, or winger depending on the needs. His ability to appear in tight spaces and his international experience make him a very attractive profile for Luis Enrique.

Psg's plan
At Parc des Princes, they believe Olmo would be a key piece to raise the level of its attacking line. The inconsistency of players like Asensio or Gonçalo Ramos has led the coaching staff to look for reliable alternatives. In that context, Dani Olmo emerges as an immediate reinforcement, able to adapt seamlessly to French soccer.
To convince Barça, PSG is willing to include two highly promising footballers in the deal. These aren't cast-offs or secondary pieces, but players who are already attracting interest across half of Europe. The Parisian intention is to open an exchange that could satisfy both parties and, at the same time, serve as a strategic move for the future.
The first of them is Bradley Barcola, a left winger who's just 21 years old, considered one of France's most promising talents. His dribbling, speed, and ability to create advantages in one-on-one situations fit perfectly with the profile Hansi Flick is looking for. The German coach has been insisting for weeks that the team needs a specialist on the left wing.
The second name is Warren Zaïre-Emery, an 18-year-old central midfielder who's already become one of European soccer's gems. His dominant physique and tactical intelligence have established him as a starter at PSG despite his youth. Deco has been following him for some time and believes he could be the natural heir to Barça's engine room.
Flick and Deco's dilemma
At Barça, they don't deny that the proposal is as attractive as it is complicated. Dani Olmo arrived as a bet for the present and the future, and Hansi Flick counts on him as a key piece in his project. However, the possibility of bringing in Barcola and Zaïre-Emery opens a deep debate in the offices.
The club needs to keep its financial balance and, at the same time, strengthen key positions in the squad. In that sense, a swap of this magnitude would allow them to add youth and versatility in two very sensitive areas. The problem is that losing Olmo would mean letting go of one of the most experienced players in the current squad.

The deal is still in its early stages and nothing has been finalized. PSG has shown its willingness to negotiate immediately, while Barça prefers to calmly analyze all scenarios. Flick values Olmo's continuity, but he also understands that Barcola and Zaïre-Emery could guarantee competitiveness for the next decade.
The outcome will depend on several factors, including Dani Olmo's own wishes, who so far hasn't expressed any desire to leave. What is clear is that PSG wants to shake up the market with a historic exchange. Barça will have to decide whether to accept losing a proven player in exchange for two gems who could shape the future.
