Arsenal would have made the first move Dani Olmo amid uncertainty about his situation at Barcelona this January
The Spain international only joined Barca in the summer, and is sure to be someone who will be a key player for them, even though they haven’t been able to sign him up in La Liga for the second half of the season.
Unsurprisingly, this crazy situation has led to speculation about Olmo’s future at Barcelona, as he is sure to have plenty of suitors elsewhere if his current club can’t keep him or isn’t allowed to play.

according to Sports World, Arsenal were the first to show interest in Olmowhile inquiries have also come in from the other six major Premier League clubs: Liverpool, Manchester United, Manchester City, Chelsea and Tottenham.
Dani Olmo could be a great opportunity for Arsenal
Olmo looks like the type of striker Arsenal could do with at the moment after their recent injury blow to Bukayo Saka.
The Gunners haven’t seen the best of players like Gabriel Martinelli and Leandro Trossard in a while, so that could mean there’s room for someone like Olmo to come in and make an impact.
The 26-year-old had a memorable 2024, winning the Euros with Spain before his big move to Barcelona, and has impressive numbers with ten goals and four assists in his last 24 appearances in all club competitions and country
Liverpool could also do well to add more attacking options to their squad as they chase the Premier League title and Champions League, although he would possibly be less assured of a regular starting spot at Anfield right now.
United need more quality in virtually every area of their squad, so their interest in Olmo is not surprising, but whether he would join them in his current form remains to be seen.
The Red Devils are 14th in the Premier League table, closer to a relegation battle than challenging for the top four, so Olmo would surely lean towards Arsenal or Liverpool over the Ruben Amorim’s team right now.
