Tottenham midfielder James Maddison is absent for a large part of the season due to an LCA injury in a pre-season match.
The club in northern London was hardly affected by the injury of one of their best players.
It is a blow for Thomas Frank and Spurs who have already lost their club captain, son Heung-Min this summer, after joining the football team of Major League Lafc.
They now explore the market to add a creative midfielder to the team and the player they have identified is the Spanish star of Barcelona, Dani Olmo.
The future of Olmo at Barça is suspended, with several reports suggesting that the club could be ready to take the Spanish international before the transfer window is closed. The interest would come from the Premier League and the Saudi Pro League, creating the potential of an auction war against the versatile playmaker.
Barcelona is open to the sale of Dani Olmo
According to Fichajes, Barcelona’s desire to negotiate a sale is linked to a combination of factors.
Olmo’s fate at Camp Nou was strongly disrupted by injuries. These persistent setbacks prevented him from establishing a coherent role in the plans of Hansi Flick.
Meanwhile, the emergence of Fermin Lopez has changed the club’s attacking hierarchy.
The young midfielder impressed the manager Flick with his energy.
This rapid increase has inevitably pushed OLMO in the hierarchical order, especially in the creative midfielder and large positions of attack.
With other reliable options already available in the team, the Barça technical service considers a potential transfer as an opportunity to balance books and release space for future signatures.
Tottenham expressed his interest in Barcelona Star
Tottenham has become the most active club in pursuit of the player. Although there is still the interest of the Saudi Pro League, the preference of the midfielder would have strongly leaning towards a move in the Premier League.
Given the circumstances, the Spanish playmaker corresponds to the profile that the Spurs look at, a technically gifted and versatile attacker with the ability to function both centrally and broader.
With the player favoring England as his next destination and the urgency of spurs on the market, a decision could materialize if the club in northern London intensifies its interest.
