Dani Olmo’s agent arrived in Manchester on Boxing Day with Premier League clubs looking to take advantage of Barcelona’s battle to register the dynamic Spain international with LaLiga ahead of the January 1 deadline.
Olmo was a £50million signing from Red Bull Leipzig in the summer but could only be registered on a temporary arrangement until the end of the calendar year owing to LaLiga’s ongoing financial constraints on Barcelona.
It means Olmo can leave as a free agent if Spain’s football federation continue to block his registration for the second part of the season as they push for the Catalan giants to make more cuts, find more revenue and comply with their financial guidelines.
Barcelona have instigated legal proceedings against LaLiga and were initially hopeful of reaching a resolution before next week.
