The past few weeks have traumatized Laporta as Barca struggles to register their key player, Dani Olmo. As his registration deadline gets closer, some assuring words have come from the player’s agent, Andy Barra. Despite the circumstances, the player has shown firm resolve and love for the club, according to his agent. Let’s unravel the details:
Dani Olmo Wants Barca Only: The Spaniard’s Agent Speaks Up
Andy Barra’s Strong Assurance
In an exclusive interview, Andy Barra has clarified that Dani Olmo is fully committed on wearing the Barca badge. Regardless of all the issues, the agent has assured that Olmo is not even considering joining any other club. The 26-year-old has had growing interest from English and Italian teams.
Barra confidently stated:
“Dani wants to play for Barcelona. We are not considering any other option.”
These statements truly express the La Masia star’s loyalty to the club. He prefers playing for Barca over money and luxury. You’ll only experience this at Barca because Barca is mes que un club (more than a club).
Ongoing Registration Struggles
Barca has struggled to fulfill La Liga regulations. The club has been unable to meet La Liga’s wage cap requirements and failed to register Olmo. The Spaniard was purchased from RB Leipzig for only the first half of the season.
The club’s second appeal to register Olmo was recently rejected by the Court of First Instance 47 of Barcelona. This has put further pressure on Barcelona’s already fragile financial state.
However, promising news has been coming recently. Catalunya Radio’s X handle has reported that Olmo and Victor will be registered by January 3.
Olmo Wants Barca Only
Olmo has been heavily linked to Manchester City, as the Blues have struggled to replace Rodri. A few Italian teams, i.e., Juventus and AC Milan, also want the midfielder. The clubs are ready to offer lucrative contracts to the Spaniard and dream of his move this January.
On the contrary, Bara has insisted that Olmo is only focused on Barca. He said that despite having all these options, he is solely focused on staying at Barcelona. He gave fans much-needed comfort by saying, “Dani will stay at Barcelona.” It surely will be a relief.
Andy Bara has shown strong trust in Laporta and Deco and has shared Dani Olmo’s views on this whole saga. He has ensured that the player prefers his emotions over financial gains and believes in Laporta.
Laporta has not given up on this registration challenge. He has been busy pursuing a solution and now looks closer than ever, as reports claim Barca is set to receive €28m in advance of the VIP seats today. This will help Barca register Olmo and Pau Victor and even sign new players.
Let’s hope to hear a happy news to end this saga and enjoy Olmo’s tenure at Barca.
