Barcelona are advancing their efforts to register Dani Olmo as soon as possible. As things stand, the big-money summer signing cannot play in La Liga, but the club’s hope is to have him available to face Athletic Club on Saturday evening. For now, that appears unlikely, but it is getting closer.
The departure of Ilkay Gundogan, confirmed on Friday, is not enough for Olmo’s registration to be confirmed, and it will still be the case for when Vitor Roque (loan to Real Betis) and Mikayil Faye (permanent transfer to Rennes) leave too. Fortunately, the impending exit of Clement Lenglet is coming, and the saving of his salary should be enough.
Lenglet will join Atletico Madrid on a season-long loan, and according to MD, he will sign a new contract until 2027 before leaving. This will allow his wages to be deferred, and Barcelona would save €6m in wages this season because of this.
Lenglet’s impending departure is significant for Barcelona, that’s for sure. It remains to be seen whether it comes in time for Olmo to make his debut against Athletic on Saturday.

Why extend his contract again before loaning him out? Does Barca think they can make any money from an average error-prone player like Lenglet? The past administration of Bartomeu has placed him on a high-paying contract that middle-class clubs cannot afford. The truth is that no top class club at the moment will buy this man. So why extend have a contract. Would it not be better to run it down and let him leave for free since no one is interested in an outright purchase?

If it is the ambition of Lamine Yamal to win UEFA Champions League, i do not think the present generation of players now at Barcelona can hellp him to achieve that ambition. Frenkie de Jong, Lewandowski, Araujo, Kounde, Langlet and a few others are simply mercenary players. The ruthlessness of Arteta and it implementation by Arsenal has yielded so much results for everyone to see.
