The last few days have been pretty eventful for FC Barcelona. From being quite active in player sales and being in the pursuit of their left-wing reinforcement, Fede Chiesa, many things have been happening at the Catalan club. However, the issue of their dream transfer signing of the summer window being unregistered continues.
What does FC Barcelona need to do to register Dani Olmo quickly?
Not to forget, that Gundogan's departure, to Man City for free, was aimed at freeing up a significant space in the club's salary space limit, for registering Olmo. However, as per reports, the veteran's departure alone won't be sufficient for the club to register Olmo, with more departures required for the process. Thus, the question arises, what does FC Barcelona need to do to register Dani Olmo quickly?
Clearly, Ilkay Gundogan's departure has freed the €15M salary he would have received on the wage bill, escalating the club's pathway for Olmo's registration, however, the club needs much more. As per reports, the club needs to sell another player or sign a major deal like the Nike contract to fancy its chances for Olmo's availability.
Analyzing Barca's current scenario, Vitor Roque's departure could help the club significantly. Roque, nearing a move to the La Liga side Real Betis, would free a significant space in the club's salary limit, easing Olmo's registration. However, the club might need more sales to proceed for Olmo.
Clement Lenglet, linked to Atletico Madrid, is nearing an exit move, which could prove pivotal in Barca's cause. Though an agreement on the defender's move hasn't been reached, Lenglet's departure would free a considerable amount on the wage bill. As per recent reports, Gündogan's departure combined with Vitor Roque and Lenglet, frees up about €36m of salary space in the best-case.
Moreover, for the club's ongoing pursuit to bring in Federico Chiesa as the left-wing reinforcement, the management is eyeing to ease the winger's registration. As per Marca reports, the club is working on the agreement with Nike and finding €20m that was not paid under the sale of Barça Vision.
Overall, the Blaugrana club just needs to act quickly in the processes they have been involved in. If FC Barcelona manages to depart Vitor Roque and Lenglet soon along with finalizing a Nike deal, the club wouldn't be far from realizing Olmo's registration.
