Confirmed, he is the best possible signing for Barça, the news leaves Dani Olmo shaken

Barça is preparing a key signing that will completely affect Dani Olmo's future within the sports project

Dani Olmo's situation at Barça is not ideal. He arrived as the major signing of the summer of 2024 and quickly won over the Barça fans with memorable performances. He scored three goals in his first three matches played, showing that he possesses much more quality than most attacking midfielders and justifying the €55 million transfer fee.

However, as the matches went by, the Barça board's fears began to surface more clearly. Dani Olmo's fragility took its toll and caused him to miss a significant part of the season, a burden he still carries today. As proof, he has already missed 6 matches this season, and the German coach is now managing his efforts much more carefully.

Barça's plan to improve Dani Olmo's performance

In this context, there are already voices at Barça calling for his departure. However, the reason that could leave Dani Olmo out of the Catalan club is a very different one. Specifically, a signing that Deco, Joan Laporta, and Hansi Flick are planning to make in the summer, with Liverpool as the target.

Barça's top brass dream of signing Ryan Gravenberch, who has become the beacon for those at Anfield. At just 23 years old, his market value already reaches figures around €90 million (about $97.5 million), so, without a doubt, he would be a very exciting signing for Barça. However, for the Dutchman to land at Camp Nou, Dani Olmo's departure becomes almost mandatory.

At the Catalan club, they are convinced that selling Dani Olmo could generate about €60 million (about $65 million). In this regard, Barça would look favorably on letting him go to finance the signing of Ryan Gravenberch. Although their profiles are somewhat different, the Spanish midfielder's constant injuries force the Barça board to make important decisions.

This way, it is clear that Dani Olmo is no longer an untouchable figure nor a guarantee for FC Barcelona. Meanwhile, the board is working to finalize the arrival of Ryan Gravenberch, a pivot who can provide many solutions for Flick in different situations. It will be necessary to keep a close eye on this matter to see how it ends, but it seems that the summer of 2026 will be truly hectic in the Catalan capital.
