Laporta is set to accept Manchester City’s €80 million offer to sign the Barca star
Manchester City continue with their particular search for a player who can make us forget the departure of Kevin de Bruyne at the end of the season, which would leave a significant void, very difficult to fill. It is true that he is no longer at his best, and that he has received a lot of criticism for this, being one of the main ones pointed out for the disastrous results he has obtained, but he is still a world star, and is the captain of the first team.
Pep Guardiola has continued to rely on the Belgian star in important moments, and he has been one of the leaders of his project since he arrived. It will not be easy to find a replacement for the former Chelsea , Genk, Werder Bremen and VFL Wolfsburg player, but at the Etihad Stadium they already control a series of alternatives. And one of the most convincing is the one with Florian Wirtz as the protagonist , since Jamal Musiala has been ruled out after renewing with Bayern Munich.
However, the high cost of the Bayer Leverkusen star causes many doubts, and a footballer who also occupies a privileged place on the agenda of targets is Dani Olmo. The Catalan coach has always acknowledged that he has great admiration for his compatriot, whom he has faced on many occasions, when he was still defending the colors of Dinamo Zagreb or RB Leipzig, in the Champions League.
In fact, the ‘skyblues’ were one of the teams that contacted the 26-year-old attacker last summer , after his spectacular participation in the European Championship, but Barça was much faster. However, the English have not forgotten about him, and are willing to present a very interesting proposal to Joan Laporta and Deco, which would allow them to recover the investment they made last year, and even obtain a significant capital gain.
And they could end up paying around 65 million euros in fixed terms, and 15 more in variables , in exchange for the youngster, who would become one of the most expensive sales in the history of the Camp Nou, only behind that of Neymar Júnior.
Barça has many doubts about City’s offer for Olmo
Naturally, Barça has many doubts about this possible offer from City for Olmo , because they could get a lot of money for a player who is not essential in Hans-Dieter Flick’s systems, who has many alternatives in his position.
In addition, Dani’s physical problems have been constant, and have caused him to miss a large number of matches.
