The news surrounding Dani Olmo and his registration is still very uncertain and with new reports coming out every day it is hard to keep up to date with what is happening.
So far, the RFEF and La Liga have denied Barcelona’s registration request for Olmo and Pau Victor, forcing the Catalonian side to take this to the courts.
It seems like a compromise might be able to be reached but there is no concrete news and it could be days until there is any.
However, this has not stopped speculation around Olmo’s future, especially with his agent being seen at the Etihad in December.
In a recent interview with Football Insider, former Man City financial advisor Stefan Borson has given his thoughts on if he believes the Spanish international could leave Barcelona this January.
“It looks like Olmo has the option to terminate the contract given that he’s not now going to be registered this season.
“I think that option runs until the end of January, but he has said he doesn’t want to do it at the moment.
“Obviously, he’s got other clients, but it seems a bit surprising that Olmo’s agent was in Manchester. He claimed it was for a holiday just after Christmas and was at the City game. I suspect he’s talking to both City and United about possible moves.
“Barcelona and their finances are a bit of a mystery. It’s still a miracle that they have continued their transfer activity in the backdrop of really quite serious financial troubles, and their accounts are really extraordinary.
“They have also had all sorts of caps from La Liga, so they have had these problems about registering players now for a number of windows, but they keep going ahead and signing players. Olmo is just the latest one.
“I suspect it won’t end up with him walking out the door. I think a loan move is possible.
“Although somebody did mention that there could be issues getting approval for a loan move given that he’s not registered in La Liga, so you kind of have this almost total block.
“But it seems to me that they would be able to find some kind of pragmatic solution to it because, otherwise, it’s a restraint of trade and he literally won’t be able to play football for at least six months.”
Olmo seems like he wants to stay at Barcelona but it would be understandable if he potentially looked for a move away so he could play football again this season.
