Pep Guardiola is currently leading one of the strongest teams in the world. Manchester City, at the push of a button, catered to the coach’s desires from Santpedor until they became what the project wanted most: a winning team. However, teams like Arsenal or Tottenham are performing very well in the domestic championship at this start of the season, and the blue club cannot afford to let its guard down if, apart from competing in Europe, it does not want to dethrone the leader in the championship. Premier League.
In this sense, the club is counting on a great fortune, which, according to the online portal donbalon.com, has set its next target on a footballer who plays far from Barcelona, but has a lot to do with Barcelona. Specifically, the current Red Bull Leipzig player, Dani Olmo, who developed as a player at Masia before Dinamo ZG
Dani Olmo, the name that Barcelona loves for the future
Until he was 16, Olmo wore the Blaugrana in a club that, unfortunately for the aspirations of the young man from Ijara, had a practically immovable first team ahead of him. For this reason, Dani Olmo has packed his bags to travel to Croatia with the clear aim of making a place for himself in the world of professional football, but while maintaining the dream of one day returning to defend the country’s interests on the grass.
Dani Olmo was free from the contract this coming summer, but Leipzig, very interested in the continuity of one of the most important footballers, obtained a model of its own, to extend the duration of the contract that tied the Catalan player to the entity until June 30, 2027. In this, there is a termination clause worth 60 million. Euros if FC Barcelona is interested in signing him.
However, it is clear that the club could agree to negotiate a similar amount to this amount if another club was willing to pay it. This, according to the website donbalon.com, will be the intentions of Guardiola, who wants to move him to City before Barcelona can respond. The Catalan coach knows that the financial situation of the club headed by Joan Laporta is not the best, and with open fronts such as the registration of Vitor Roque or the possible final purchase of Joao Cancelo, there will not be enough resources to carry out an operation. Which are fluorescently tagged in the not too distant future.
Dani Olmo, the perfect versatility for City
Meanwhile, Manchester City’s technical secretariat identifies areas where Dani Olmo could be important. Aside from the left wing demarcation currently occupied by Jack Grealish, his versatility would allow him to play on the right side or even as a midfielder in a more attacking context. For now, Olmo is committed to Leipzig.
