Although Chelsea thought about Olmo, they have chosen not to make an offer. Their priorities are on locating a wide attacker instead of Olmo, a center playmaker. Consequently, the £52 million price tag for the Spanish international does not match their present approach. Barcelona’s inclination in Olmo makes sense. Ilkay Gundogan is growing older, hence new midfield innovation is more important. Olmo matches the Catalan club exactly with his capacity to coordinate performance.

Olmo’s candid willingness to join Manchester United makes the matter fascinating. Will Barcelona be able to entice him back to Catalonia, or will he sporting Manchester United’s red shirt? As these two football behemoths fight for the gifted playmaker, the summer transfer window looks to be fascinating.
