Barcelona are ready to offload Olmo.

Barcelona caused a surprise in the final stages of the summer transfer window by deciding they were willing to sell Dani Olmo.

Olmo is at risk of leaving Barcelona.

According to Defensa Central , the Spanish attacking midfielder, once expected to be a key creative player, has now lost his starting position and is no longer in coach Hansi Flick's long-term plans.

The main reason stems from a series of recurring injuries, which have prevented Olmo from ever maintaining top form since returning from RB Leipzig. Meanwhile, Fermin Lopez had a brilliant pre-season, enough to earn a starting spot from the beginning of the season.

The emergence of other options such as Raphinha in a creative role, Gavi in ​​attacking midfield, and the addition of Marcus Rashford on the left wing significantly reduced the space available to Olmo.

Financially, Barcelona needs a major player sale to both comply with La Liga's financial limits and have a budget for new signings. Selling Dani Olmo for nearly €60 million is seen as a viable solution, especially since his contract runs until 2030, giving the club the upper hand in negotiations.

Olmo's form at Barcelona has yet to meet expectations: 39 appearances, 12 goals, and 7 assists. Despite the 27-year-old's excellent individual technique, his inconsistent fitness has kept him off the radar of coach Flick.

Tottenham are currently leading the Premier League race, while the Saudi Pro League are also ready to make an attractive offer. If Olmo leaves, he will leave a void in terms of creativity, but at the same time help Barcelona relieve financial pressure and prepare for a bigger goal: finding a successor to Robert Lewandowski in the near future.
