City agree the team to return to the top. Guardiola wants Olma, a 140m euro player dropped!
Manchester City has ‘hunted’ in recent weeks Floriana Wirtza (22), he was ready to pay Bayer Leverkusen and 100 million euros for a player whose value on Transfermarkt is 140 million euros, but a great German decided to stay in his homeland and will probably join Bayern Munich in the summer.
Kevin de Bruyne He leaves City after ten years, his placemaker’s place is vacant, so the club of a comb the market and is looking for a heir to which it will not be easy to jump into the Kopačka Belgian Grandmaster because the slat is highly placed. Wirtz was the first choice, there will be nothing of that, and as Spanish media writes, the ‘citizens’ were again warmed up for former Dinamo player Dani Olma, who plays great in Barcelona. Pep Guardiola appreciates him and believes that the team can bring a new dimension and energy that is chronically needed after this season without a trophy. A total overhaul in the blue part of Manchester is stored.
Olmo is a key player of the Spanish national team. He was part of the team that won the UEFA League of Nations 2023 and the European Championship 2024, where he was also one of the best tournament shooters. His experience of playing at the highest level, both club and representative, is an additional trump card that attracts Manchester City.
However, the transfer will not be easy. Barcelona Olma considers an important part of the team and does not want to sell it. His agent Andy Bar also claims that Olmo is happy in Barcelona. City allegedly already contacted OLMA in January 2025, when he had these problems with registration, but the situation was resolved in the meantime.
– We are not talking to any club except Barcelona at the moment. The days are happy in Barcelona. He wins the trophies and is an important part of the team. The rumors are not true. But of course, he can never know what the future holds – said Bar.
In addition to Olma, Manchester City also considers other options to strengthen the midfield, such as Morgan Gibbs-White from Nottingham Forest. The pressure on Guardiola and the club’s management is large after a trophy without a trophy season, and it is clear that the intention is to carry out a significant reconstruction of the team to return to the winning paths. City’s financial power is not questionable, but negotiations with Barcelona around Olma could be demanding.
Dani Olmo represents a player profile that would fit perfectly in Guardiola’s vision of football. His technical superiority, tactical intelligence and the experience of playing under pressure make it a tempting target. Whether City will succeed in its intention and bring the Spanish master on Etihad will show the coming weeks and months. One thing is for sure, Manchester City is determined to return to the top, and Olmo could be a key part of that puzzle. And no less important, if he accepts transfer to England, he will be greeted by a great friend Josko Guardiol, with whom he played in Dinamo and Leipzig. We believe it is also a ticket to which Pep Guardiola will play.
