Barcelona star Dani Olmo has officially declared that he will join Manchester City this January under one condition.

Manchester United and Manchester City will not be pursuing a move for Barcelona’s Dani Olmo in the January transfer window, despite recent rumors sparked by the presence of Olmo’s agent, Andy Bara, in Manchester. Bara, a key figure at Niagara Sports, was recently seen in the city, fueling speculation of a potential transfer. However, Bara has dismissed these claims, stating his visit was solely for personal reasons and unrelated to any football discussions.

Barcelona has resolved the registration issues regarding Olmo, allowing him to continue playing for the club. The Catalan team had faced financial hurdles that delayed the registration of both Olmo and teammate Pau Victor. However, a recent announcement confirmed that both players are now officially registered and eligible to play, ending concerns that Olmo might leave the club. If the registration had not been completed, Olmo could have triggered a clause in his contract allowing him to leave as a free agent.

Before the registration issue was resolved, there were rumors of a potential loan move for Olmo to the Premier League, with Manchester United reportedly interested in a temporary deal. But with the matter now settled, it seems unlikely that Olmo will join either Manchester United or Manchester City this month.

Bara’s visit to Manchester contributed to the transfer speculation, but he has clarified that it was coincidental and unrelated to any negotiations involving Olmo. Bara’s agency, Niagara Sports, also represents high-profile Spanish players like Alvaro Morata and former Manchester City striker Alvaro Negredo, which may have added to the rumors.

Ultimately, Barcelona’s successful registration of Olmo has put an end to any transfer talks surrounding him. With his future at Barcelona secured, Olmo can now focus on helping the club succeed in La Liga and other competitions. The resolution of his registration issues ensures that he remains an integral part of Barcelona’s plans, quelling any doubts about his immediate future.

This situation highlights how intense transfer rumors can be in modern football, but in this case, Barcelona has managed to retain one of its key players, much to the relief of the club and its fans.
