Arsenal have emerged as a contender to secure the services of Dani Olmo on loan for the remainder of the season as Barcelona struggle to resolve issues surrounding the player’s registration.
The Spanish international featured for the Catalan giants during the first half of the campaign, but due to financial constraints, La Liga has voided his registration. As it stands, Olmo’s name has been removed from the league’s official system, leaving him in limbo.
Barcelona have reportedly assured the versatile attacker that they will resolve the matter. However, time is not on their side, and they may be forced to offload him temporarily—or even permanently—during this transfer window.
In light of these developments, Arsenal have been tipped as a potential destination for the 26-year-old, who has been linked with a move to the Premier League in the past. The Gunners are reportedly exploring their attacking options after losing star winger Bukayo Saka to an injury, and Olmo could prove to be an ideal short-term solution.
According to Football Insider, Arsenal are one of the clubs monitoring Olmo’s situation closely. The report claims the North London side view him as a player who could provide immediate quality and depth to their attack. Arsenal are said to be willing to pay a loan fee to secure his services until the end of the season.
Olmo, a highly creative and technical player, would add versatility to Mikel Arteta’s frontline. Capable of playing as a winger, attacking midfielder, or even as a false nine, his skill set aligns well with Arsenal’s dynamic attacking style.
This potential signing could also soften the blow of losing Saka, who has been pivotal to Arsenal’s success in recent seasons. While Saka’s absence remains a major concern, bringing in Olmo would provide Arteta with a quality option capable of producing match-winning moments in crucial fixtures.
For Arsenal, this deal represents an exciting opportunity. Olmo is not only a proven talent at both club and international levels, but his availability on loan makes him an affordable and low-risk solution in the short term. His ability to slot seamlessly into different roles across the attack could be vital as Arsenal push for success in domestic and European competitions.
However, Arsenal may face competition from other clubs eager to take advantage of Barcelona’s precarious financial situation. Furthermore, the Gunners would need to act swiftly to ensure they land Olmo before Barcelona either resolves his registration issues or receives a more lucrative offer for a permanent move.
If Arsenal can secure this deal, it could be a game-changing addition to their squad, helping them maintain momentum during a critical stage of the season.

It may be quite hard to attract attacking players of his quality after he watches the highlights reel of our footballing tactics of late.
Maybe we should just bring Peter Crouch out of retirement to add to our numbers for the season!
I agree. Crouch is tall and good at heading home from set pieces.
@dgr8xt
Giroud is still out there somewhere kicking about. We might get him on a free…😁
I gree with you guys, but come on, we’re still ATTRACTIVE….. It’s just management, remember the Wenger error. We’re not Man City or Man U who splash the cash at will. I still have much respect for Arteta….. His just an Employee…… What can he do if the employer tells him to work with what is on his disposal? His future is secure…… Everyone knows that Arsenal is shot in numbers, honestly can Arteta refuse to buy a Striker when given MONEY????? It’s in the best interest of the manager to win matches and CUPS🏆🏆🏆 They raise the profile of a manager. Arteta wants to win the league, so it’s up to management to bring in players this January.
Was it the management that decided he should sign defenders, when it was evident that what he needed was attackers. We’ve been giving excuses for him for four seasons now. It doesn’t take eternity to rebuild a team, especially after spending over 800m pounds.
Getting Olmo on loan is not going to happen, as Reggie pointed out on another thread, we already have the maximum number of loanees, which is 2.
I could be wrong but I don’t that rule allies to loans from non Prem league teams.
Applies!!
We can have four a season, but only two at a time from all sources
Shame, as Olmo might be just the right fit to relieve Ødegaard who on a bit of a dip.
Yes HD, we are at our limit for premier league loans. We can still do European loans.
We have not played attractive football this season
It’s the easiest thing in the world to criticise arsenal and arteta. But its very difficult to play attractive free flowing football when teams sit on the edge of their own box. Even Anthony Gordon last night admitted that they set up to smash and grab.
Even if we do, I’m not convinced it will move the needle anyway.
I question whether personnel is the problem, or setup, style, and tactics are the problem.
Look at the players who seem to have regressed this year
Martinelli, Trossard, Rice, Odegaard, Havertz, even our CB pairing of Saliba and Gabriel has looked quite suspect this year; far more so than last season.
This system of micro-managed crab-football is not bringing out the best in our players, or in our manager I would argue. Perhaps its time to drop the ego and stubbornness and admit this style of football is not best suited to this team.
No thanks. Don’t want Nico Williams either. He has ONE goal. Get us a guaranteed goal scorer. I really hope the club isn’t waiting the summer for him.
Barcellona has been rescued by Spain’s sports council who’ve allowed temporary registration while the investigation continues.
