AC Milan has seen a significant drop in performance since the start of this season, falling from being a top contender in the league to potentially missing out on Champions League qualification. The club has made a decisive managerial change, but they still need to address an important issue: finding a suitable central midfielder to enhance their squad and push for a top-four finish in the second half of the season.
In a stroke of genius, Milan is pursuing a move for Barcelona's summer transfer window star, Olmo. With Olmo unable to secure registration due to La Liga's refusal to provide any concessions to Barcelona, he will likely seek a new club to continue his career. Milan is willing to sign him for free and let him play for half a season before returning him to Barcelona at the end of the season for a nominal transfer fee. This move not only allows Milan to acquire a top-tier midfielder in his prime to bolster their Champions League push but also provides the opportunity to make a profit by selling him back to Barcelona later.
World Sports Daily's deputy editor, Cristina Cubero, confirmed this news, stating that Milan has approached Barcelona with their plan for Olmo. The likelihood of this operation happening is increasing, and Barcelona is waiting for the player's final decision. However, such a deal with Milan could help Barcelona minimize their losses.
