Dani Olmo Rejects Arsenal Move and Stays at Barcelona
dani olmo has ruled out a move to Arsenal this summer and said he will stay at Barcelona. The Barcelona midfielder made the position plain while Spain’s World Cup campaign takes priority, closing down the transfer talk after reports in Spain linked him with a €60m (£51.8m) bid.
Dani Olmo Ends Arsenal Link
“No, Barca fans can rest easy. As far as I’m concerned, there’s nothing to say,” Olmo told Mundo Deportivo when asked about Arsenal. He added: “Ultimately, the best players have to play for Barca,” a line that leaves little room for a summer exit.
Those comments arrived after reports in Spain said Arsenal were preparing an offer worth €60m (£51.8m). The link was strong enough to generate another round of transfer noise, but Olmo shut it down before it could build into a larger summer story.
Barcelona Keep Olmo In Place
Olmo has just finished his second season with Barcelona, and the club won La Liga for the second successive campaign. He joined from RB Leipzig in a £51 million deal two years ago, and his latest stance keeps him in the squad as Barcelona plan for another run at the top end of Europe.
He also said Barcelona could overtake Paris Saint-Germain and Arsenal to reach the Champions League final next season, while stressing that the team were frustrated last year against Inter Milan and this year against Atletico Madrid. Barcelona are not satisfied with just reaching the semi-final, and Olmo framed the next step as closing the small margins that have kept them out of the final.
Spain World Cup Focus
The immediate shift for Olmo is to Spain’s World Cup campaign this summer. That commitment leaves Barcelona with one less transfer question to answer and one more established midfielder staying in place as the new season takes shape.
His message was direct, and it matched the scale of the speculation around him. Arsenal were linked with a major offer, but Olmo’s answer kept the story simple: he is staying at Barcelona, and the next stretch of his season belongs to Spain.
