Barcelona is struggling to register Spanish midfielder Dani Olmo for the second half of the 2024-25 season. With La Liga and the Spanish Football Federation (RFEF) rejecting their appeals, the club is running out of options. Now, there’s talk of a possible loan move to AC Milan, where Olmo could team up with USMNT star Christian Pulisic.

Milan is reportedly considering a six-month loan deal for Olmo. This would allow him to play until the season ends and then potentially return to Barcelona. Other big clubs like RB Leipzig, Bayern Munich, Manchester City, Manchester United, and Paris Saint-Germain are also interested in the midfielder. However, Milan’s offer seems to be the most practical solution for everyone involved.

This move could solve problems on all sides. Barcelona is facing strict salary cap rules that are preventing them from registering both Olmo and another player, Pau Victor. Sending Olmo on loan would ease their financial strain for now. Meanwhile, Milan would gain a talented player to strengthen their squad. For Olmo, it’s a chance to stay in top form and keep playing during this uncertain time.

Milan’s new coach, Sergio Conceicao, sees Olmo as a versatile player who could add depth to their lineup. Like Pulisic, he can play as an attacking midfielder or on the left wing. This flexibility would help Milan manage Pulisic’s minutes, especially since he has dealt with injuries in the past.

Olmo joined Barcelona from RB Leipzig earlier this season in a $65 million deal and has already become an important part of the team. As a product of Barcelona’s famous La Masia academy, he has a strong bond with the club and doesn’t want to leave permanently, even with these challenges.

Olmo’s agent has expressed confidence in Barcelona’s future and said that Olmo and his family are committed to the club. However, if Barcelona can’t resolve the registration issues soon, both Olmo and Pau Victor would be sidelined until at least June. A loan to Milan looks like the best way for Olmo to keep playing for both his club and Spain’s national team while Barcelona sorts out its financial problems.
