Arsenal made attempts to sign Barcelona star Dani Olmo, but had an approach rejected, according to a "confidential" report in Spain. The versatile midfielder has made it clear that he wants to stay and make a name for himself at the Camp Nou, despite offers that would make him one of the game's highest paid players. Even during an unsettled period at Barcelona and failing to get regular game time, the player was adamant he wanted to stick around.

A report, labelled as "confidential" from Spanish website Sport claims that Mikel Arteta tried to make the most of Olmo's situation at Barcelona, with the player not featuring regularly. However, even the offer of consistent game time in the Premier League was not enough to convince Olmo to make the move from Catalonia. Get VIP Arsenal tickets HERE with Seat Unique!

The player had previously turned down moves to the English top flight, with Manchester City pushing to sign the player last summer. At the time, his agent Andy Bara said the player wasn't thinking about leaving Barca, but added: “You never know what the future will bring”.

Brendan Rodgers also wanted to take Olmo to Al-Qadsiah, with a huge contract that would have seen the player earn close to £35m over four years. However, the Spain international also rejected those advances, preferring to stay where he is for the time being. Liverpool are also reported to have monitored his situation during the winter transfer window, having previously tried to sign him in summer 2024, only to miss out.

Clubs may get another chance to sign Olmo this summer, however, with Fichajes suggesting that Barca may be open to letting him leave once the transfer window opens. They claim that Arsenal are still interested and keeping tabs on the situation, along with both Manchester City and PSG. His current deal at Barcelona reportedly expires in 2030, meaning it would likely need a sizeable offer to prize him away.
