"Newcastle United, backed by the financial firepower of the Saudi Public Investment Fund (PIF), are reportedly preparing to make a club-record bid for Dani Olmo, the Barcelona attacking midfielder. According to Spanish outlet E-Noticies, Olmo would be ready to depart Barca if the right offer comes, and that Newcastle are poised to trigger that moment with an offer in the region of 90 million (around 78m)."
"Olmo has struggled for starts under manager Hansi Flick. Despite arriving at Barcelona in 2024 from RB Leipzig with high expectation, he made only 13 La Liga starts last season,and just one so far this campaign. Newcastle United signed Nick Woltemade, Anthony Elanga, Yoane Wissa, Jacob Ramsey, Malick Thiaw, Aaron Ramsdale, and Antonito Cordero in the summer transfer window and they are ready to add more strength to their squad in the near future by targeting a move for the Barcelona attacking midfielder."
Newcastle United, backed by the Saudi Public Investment Fund (PIF), are preparing a club‑record offer in the region of €90m (around £78m) to sign Barcelona attacker Dani Olmo. Olmo would be open to leaving Barcelona if an acceptable offer arrives. He struggled for starts under Hansi Flick, making only 13 La Liga starts last season and just one so far this campaign. Newcastle added several players in the summer and are targeting further creative reinforcements. The move carries risk due to inconsistent form and adaptation challenges, and success depends on Howe and his coaches unlocking Olmo's role and confidence. A Premier League defender could consider an exit if Newcastle pursue the signing.
