In the European football world, every transfer deal of the top clubs is highly anticipated, and now the La Liga giant Barcelona is deeply involved in a big trouble caused by transfers.
The summer transfer window's top signing, Olmo, once filled Barcelona fans with high hopes. This star, who shone brightly at the European Championship and helped Spain win the trophy, showed excellent form and strength upon joining Barcelona, as if he were a new star about to shine at the Nou Camp. He quickly won the recognition of the coaching staff and his teammates with his on-field performance, and everyone looked forward to him injecting strong momentum into the team's new season campaign.
However, reality can be cruel. To this day, Olmo has still not been able to complete registration, which has left Barcelona at a loss. The official stance of La Liga is very tough, rejecting Barcelona's attempts to register him through other means, effectively declaring that Olmo will not participate in the second half of the La Liga season. For a player in his prime who craves the field, this is undoubtedly terrible news.
After learning that registration was hopeless, Olmo's attitude also changed. As a Spanish international, he knew that not being registered meant missing out on the Champions League and having a negative impact on his future with the national team. In the harsh reality of professional football, Olmo chose to make a decisive change. According to reliable sources, he has made up his mind to leave for free after the winter transfer window opens. This decision will undoubtedly put Barcelona in a situation where they lose both the player and the money.
From an economic perspective, Barcelona has suffered a heavy loss this time. They paid a whopping 50 million euros to Leipzig for Olmo, and if he leaves like this, that huge expense would be wasted, and the team would still have to bear all his wages since joining. A rough estimate puts the total cost at no less than 120 million euros. Such a high price has resulted in nothing but disappointment, making Barcelona the biggest "sucker."
As for Olmo's next destination, it seems to have become clear. According to various sources, the Premier League giant Manchester City will be the biggest beneficiary of this turmoil. It is reported that Guardiola has always favored Olmo. And for Olmo, playing under Guardiola is undoubtedly an attractive choice. Manchester City's powerful squad and championship-winning capabilities provide him with ample room for development, and he has the potential to become De Bruyne's best successor. Guardiola, without spending a penny, gets De Bruyne's replacement, naturally eager to get, picking up a treasure for free.
Barcelona must learn from this crisis and reflect on the loopholes and deficiencies in their transfer operations. In the future, when recruiting players, they should not only focus on the player's strength and suitability but also ensure the smoothness and compliance of the transfer process to avoid repeating past mistakes. As for Barcelona fans, they can only helplessly watch the team fall into difficulties, hoping that the management can find a solution as soon as possible to get Barcelona back on track. Will there be a turning point in this storm caused by Olmo? Let's wait and see.
