This season, although Barcelona started off very well and maintained an absolute dominance in La Liga, the team has experienced significant fluctuations as the season progressed, resulting in a drop in the standings.
The main reason for Barcelona's decline in performance is due to internal turmoil within the team and the lack of experience among the young players. In this regard, La Liga officials have announced a message that directly caused Barcelona to lose 120 million euros. Among them, because Olmo's transfer fee reached 55 million euros, Barcelona needs to pay all of it to Leipzig. Additionally, there is the issue of Olmo's salary; if Olmo were to leave the team, Barcelona would also need to pay the remaining salary in full.
Due to Olmo's inability to register, he will be unable to participate in matches for the Spanish national team and the Champions League. Therefore, it is unlikely that the player would give up his future career for Barcelona. Regarding Olmo's potential new team, the current frontrunner is joining the Premier League powerhouse Manchester City. Originally, Manchester City had a strong interest in Olmo during the summer and extended an invitation to him, but due to financial issues, they were ultimately unable to sign him.
However, now faced with the opportunity to acquire Olmo for free, Manchester City remains very interested in signing him. This time, Coach Guardiola and Manchester City can be considered to have gotten a bargain, obtaining a central midfielder who can help build a new lineup system. Olmo also thoroughly proved himself during the summer European Cup, demonstrating that he has the ability to become a starting midfielder for a top club.
