Arsenal have been approached over a potential January move for Barcelona midfielder Dani Olmo as Mikel Arteta considers options to strengthen his attacking squad.
Intermediaries are understood to have made contact with the north London club regarding the Spain international’s availability. However, it remains unclear whether Arsenal are prepared to turn that initial approach into a formal pursuit.
Olmo’s future at Barcelona is reportedly uncertain, creating a possible opportunity for clubs interested in securing his signature. Several sides across Europe are said to be monitoring the 28-year-old’s situation.
Arsenal Dani Olmo transfer interest could depend on Barcelona
Technically gifted and capable of playing in several attacking positions, Olmo could offer Arsenal greater flexibility in the final third. His creativity and movement would provide Arteta with another option behind the striker or in wider areas.
The midfielder returned to Barcelona in 2024 after impressing during his time with RB Leipzig. He had previously developed his career at Dinamo Zagreb.
Any Arsenal move would depend on Barcelona’s willingness to sanction his departure, as well as the financial terms involved. The Catalan club are understood to value Olmo highly, meaning a deal could require a significant commitment.
For now, Arsenal have not made a concrete offer and the reported contact does not indicate that a transfer is close. Olmo’s position at Barcelona is nevertheless likely to be monitored as the January window approaches.
