Barcelona midfielder Dani Olmo has moved to dismiss growing transfer speculation linking him with a summer switch to Arsenal, insisting he remains focused on his role at the Catalan club amid renewed reports from England.
The Spain international, currently playing for FC Barcelona, has been the subject of recent rumours suggesting that Arsenal were monitoring his situation ahead of the upcoming transfer window as Mikel Arteta looks to further strengthen his ARSENAL attacking midfield options.
However, Olmo has now publicly moved to shut down the speculation, indicating that he is not seeking a move away from Barcelona and remains committed to the project at the Camp Nou. The midfielder’s response is understood to have come after increasing media reports in England suggested Arsenal could explore a deal as part of their summer recruitment plans.
Olmo, 26, returned to Barcelona as a high-profile signing and has been viewed as a key creative presence in the squad, capable of operating between the lines and contributing both goals and assists.
His technical ability, vision and versatility have made him an important tactical option for the club across multiple competitions.
In recent weeks, reports in the English press had linked Arsenal with a potential move as they continue to assess attacking reinforcements in midfield and wide forward areas. The Gunners are expected to be active in the market once again, with a focus on adding creativity and depth to support their established attacking core.
Despite the speculation, Olmo’s comments have made it clear that he is not currently entertaining the idea of a departure. His stance is likely to ease immediate concerns for Barcelona supporters, who view him as a valuable part of the squad’s long-term plans.
The Spaniard said: ‘No, Barca fans can rest easy. As far as I’m concerned, there’s nothing to say.’
*ARSENAL*’s interest, while reported, has not progressed to formal negotiations, and the London club are expected to continue evaluating multiple targets ahead of the summer window.
For now, Olmo’s position appears settled, with the midfielder intent on continuing his development at Barcelona rather than pursuing a move to the Premier League. The latest clarification is likely to cool speculation, at least in the short term, as clubs begin shaping their transfer strategies for the months ahead
