According to the latest report from authoritative Italian journalist Fabrizio Romano, the much-anticipated transfer news in the soccer world is once again focused on Spanish midfielder Olmo. Currently, Olmo's future seems to be clearing up, with Barcelona and Bayern Munich becoming the two most likely clubs for him to join.
Despite the recent media rumors about Manchester City's offer to Olmo, Romano made it clear that Olmo prefers to join Barcelona or Bayern compared to Manchester City. This statement undoubtedly adds more confidence to these two big clubs and signals that they will be in a more favorable position in the next transfer negotiations.
For Bayern, they are still in close contact with Olmo but have yet to make a formal offer to Red Bull Leipzig. Bayern's move will reportedly be influenced by the outcome of their pursuit of other targeted players such as Touré and Javi Simões. If Bayern are successful in signing one or more of these players, then they may hold off on their pursuit of Olmo; conversely, they may accelerate the negotiation process with Leipzig.
On the other hand, Barcelona are also actively pursuing Olmo. According to Romano, although Nico Williams is Barcelona's number one target for reinforcements at the moment, they have not given up their pursuit of Olmo. Barcelona are in deep contact with Olmo's agent and believe that Olmo sees Barcelona as his first choice for a transfer. This statement undoubtedly adds more bargaining chips to Barcelona's transfer negotiations.
However, Romano also warned fans not to be overly optimistic. He said that there may not be any significant progress on Olmo's transfer this week. This means that fans will have to be patient for some time before they see who Olmo ends up with.
