Bayern Munich, Manchester United, and Manchester City are all rumored to circling like vultures over the registration fiasco involving FC Barcelona and Dani Olmo.
According to a report from Mundo Deportivo journalist Ferran Martínez (as captured by @iMiaSanMia), Bayern Munich is not the only Bundesliga side in the mix for Olmo, though. Bayer Leverkusen is also keeping tabs on the situation and RB Leipzig could offer a soft landing:
Bayern and Bayer Leverkusen, in Germany, are keeping an eye on Dani Olmo’s situation amidst current doubts over his Barcelona future. RB Leipzig have also told the player that the club will always be his home. Several Premier League clubs are monitoring the situation, too. Olmo, meanwhile, is only thinking about Barcelona – For him, any other outcome would be the biggest disappointment of his career.
Despite all of the options available to Olmo, it still feels like FC Barcelona will find a way to work this situation out, so…stay tuned.
