Matteo Moretto gives Football España exclusive information on the latest business dominating the newspapers in Spain, as revealed in Daily Briefing by Fabrizio Romano.
Dani Olmo is a very popular player from Barcelona, and for me, I don't think there is a possibility at the moment to go to Atletico Madrid, despite the reports in Spain that they were favorites to sign this before. week. To date, Barcelona's priority is to sign Nico Williams, so with Olmo there is nothing that has progressed.
I will also have an eye on Bayern Munich who could be his next destination. They are very careful about Olmo's situation – Bayern like him a lot and have done so for a long time. At Bayern he also has many admirers in the club. After his release clause of 60 million euros expired yesterday, now whoever wants him will have to negotiate with Leipzig to make a deal.
Barcelona are looking for a way to pay the release clause of Athletic Club's Nico Williams, even without an imminent sale. So the sale may come after a deal for Williams. As we have been reported, Barcelona needs an exit before a big expense, so they are looking for a way to go first for the 21-year-old. But Barcelona's attention is now focused on Nico Williams ahead of all other issues.
There have also been conversations between Nico's entourage and Barcelona's Sports Director Deco to approach each other on contractual matters. The next few days could be very important, one way or another. As for the exit, I can tell you that there will undoubtedly be some exits at Barcelona, and especially if Nico arrives at the club, someone in the forward line will not be able to stay, but at the back I I hope they find it. one solution is for Clement Lenglet to leave the club.
The star of Spain and Real Sociedad, Mikel Merino, wants to think carefully about which path to take. He decided not to renew with La Real, but he still wants Real to win from his transfer. I feel that he needs to try a new project both from a personal and professional point of view.
At the moment, the team that has been most insistent in trying to bring Merino is Atletico Madrid, who are trying to include Merino in an agreement that has already been made for Robin Le Normand for around 30 million euros with Real Sociedad. Barcelona are currently focused on Nico Williams, and Arsenal have made some calls, some inquiries, but there are no official offers for Merino yet.
Matteo Moretto will be back with more transfer news in the coming days, providing exclusive information on the biggest stories in Spain and Italy.
