Unconfirmed reports suggest that discussions have begun between Manchester City and Barcelona over the transfer of Dani Olmo. The midfielder has emerged as a top target for the squad and talks are reportedly progressing as the two clubs explore whether there is a deal to be done for the player. Arsenal, Newcastle and Tottenham are reportedly waiting in the wings. Finalising a fee and payment terms remains central to closing the transfer. So far this season, Manchester City are steady at both ends (2.0 goals scored per game, 0.93 goals conceded per game). The role for Dani Olmo would be to keep that balance while lifting performances across the pitch. Barcelona have also been linked with Joao Pedro, Dodo and Marc Cucurella while Manchester City are reportedly monitoring Alejandro Balde Martinez, Pau Cubarsi and Sandro Tonali.
