Barcelona is currently leading the race to sign Manchester City transfer target Dani Olmo, according to Sky Germany reporter Philipp Hinze. It was reported that Barcelona’s offer matched Leipzig’s asking price of €60m but included difficult-to-achieve add-ons. Manchester City has not made an offer for Olmo yet, and it is unlikely they will compete with Barcelona or other clubs to sign the 26-year-old.
It was believed that Olmo was being considered as a potential replacement if Kevin De Bruyne or Bernardo Silva left Manchester City, but both players are expected to stay. After selling Sergio Gomez to Real Sociedad, the club may be looking for a new left-back, but it is likely to be a young player who may not be ready for the first team. Savinho is currently the only major signing for City, but changes could still occur in the transfer market over the next few weeks.
If Ederson and Julian Alvarez leave the club, replacements may be needed. The transfer market for Manchester City has been relatively quiet, with the focus on potential departures rather than new signings. It remains to be seen if City will make an offer for Olmo or pursue other transfer targets in the remaining weeks of the window.
