Manchester City Eyes Barcelona Star as Kevin De Bruyne Replacement
Barcelona’s financial struggles have caught the attention of English champions Manchester City, particularly regarding the situation of Dani Olmo. The La Masia graduate made a return to his boyhood club from RB Leipzig last summer on a lucrative six-year contract. However, the Spanish giants faced registration issues with new signees Olmo and Pau Victor, leading to uncertainty about their future at the club.
Despite facing injury setbacks this season, Olmo has proven to be a valuable asset for Barcelona, attracting interest from Manchester City as a potential replacement for Kevin De Bruyne. City manager Pep Guardiola has expressed admiration for Olmo’s skills, fueling speculation about a possible move to Etihad Stadium.
City is rumored to be prepared to meet Barcelona’s hefty asking price of around £50 million for Olmo. Guardiola’s positive relationship with the player and tactical alignment could play a crucial role in facilitating the transfer. With Guardiola’s endorsement and Olmo’s impressive performances, City sees the Barcelona star as a perfect fit to fill De Bruyne’s shoes.
Olmo’s versatility, playmaking abilities, and youth make him an appealing prospect for City, who are keen on securing his signature. As the transfer rumors swirl, all eyes are on whether Guardiola’s influence will be enough to lure Olmo away from Barcelona and onto the Premier League stage.
Stay tuned for more updates on this potential blockbuster transfer as the summer transfer window approaches.
