CorSera: Milan monitoring Dani Olmo situation as Barcelona launch final appeal

AC Milan have been repeatedly linked with a move for Dani Olmo in previous windows, and now the opportunity might just have arisen to get him.

According to what is being reported by Corriere della Sera (via MilanPress), the Milan management are watching the developments of the Dani Olmo situation very carefully, given the talk of him potentially leaving Barcelona.

The Catalan club have not managed to register him or Pau Victor with LaLiga because of their financial difficulties, and that means that they are currently free to sign for another team. Barca would be forced to pay the two multi-year contracts and pay the €60m owed to RB Leipzig.

Barcelona have appealed to the Federation and the final answer will arrive tomorrow, January 3. The Rossoneri directors are monitoring the matter with interest, ready to strike in the event that Olmo is free to leave them, amid previous interest.

Moreover, if offers for Noah Okafor or Luka Jovic were to arrive, then Milan would not stand in their way and their exit(s) could generate funds and create space in the squad for Olmo to arrive.

How did this situation come about for Barca? Obstacles had already arisen in the summer when the two players – due to salaries that exceed the salary limits imposed by the federation – could not be registered. They were able to get the deals over the line, but only on a six-month basis.
