Manchester City were not considered the best before Pep Guardiola stepped in for the club. With only having had a few successful stints before the season when Pep Guardiola joined City from Bayern. This article will feature Dani Olmo’s chances to enter City under Pep.
With many players who have climbed the ladder of success, Manchester City have been captivating in their mid-field, especially with the deep-lying playmaker taking over the managerial role. The most favourites in World football, Manchester City have had the services of Belgium maestro Kevin De Bruyne for quite a handsome amount of time.
The midfielder is often seen coordinating the game between the two halves and being the most established playmaker with his insane skills on the ball in attacking positions. Alongside him, another potent player has been Portuguese winger Bernardo Silva.
Now adding to the worry, Pep has proclaimed that he will not be an obstruction to any player who decides to leave the club. Raheem Sterling, Zinchenko and Jesus have already left the club without facing any obstruction, despite being crucial contributors to the club’s success.
After Riyadh Maharez’s highly unforeseen move to Saudi, this is believed that Manchester City and Pep Guardiola are not affected by players who wish to leave the club, however, important the role of the player is.
Reports suggest that Man City will end their contract with the Belgium captain in 2025, and they are not finding it feasible to offer an extension to the Club great, who will then be aged 34 and this recent injured status has already been a concern for the club.
Even for Bernardo Silva, Manchester City has suggested that they are open to hearing major breakthroughs, with the biggest of them coming from clubs like Barcelona, where even Sliva intends to play his future football.
With KDB seeking chances into the Saudi Pro League, it will be wise for Pep to let him go alongside Silva who sees him with the Catalunya club in future.
Now to address the void, Pep can rely to sign in Spain’s dominating performer and knockout hero, Dani Olmo. The 26-year-old Spaniard, not only found the back of the net in both knockout games against Germany and France, but he also saved a crucial headed attempt at the Spanish goal at the brisk of 90 minutes in the Euro 2024 final.

Olmo scored two stunning goals and made a perfect assist for Spain’s winning goal against Germany, which gives him an impact far more than Golden Boy Pedri, who was preferred by Fuente over the Leipzig star.
Olmo has been off the limelight, due to his preferences in club football, as he decided to choose Dinamo Zagreb and RB Leipzig, to find more time on the pitch which he thought would help him improve his game, as top clubs would have denied him the same.
Playing for Zagreb and Leipzig he had seen success in the Champions League and has also been regular in both Enrique’s and Da La Fuente’s side. However, now it seems that this is the time when Olmo is ready to make his move, as his contract with the Bundesliga side expires this summer.
Pep has shown interest in the Spaniard as he has claimed him to be the best in the mid-field who suits his form of play. With Olmo’s presence in the defensive half and sheer prowess in the opposition’s penalty area, the Spanish attacking midfielder is an ideal choice to replace Kevin De Bruyne from the Man City hype.
Olmo, just like Yamal and Nico Williams will have the services of Doku and Foden along the two flanks. He can also enjoy his time with national teammate Rodri, who is known for coordinating the play in the City midfield. With a release contract at around 60 million euros, the highly pursued Manchester City can make a move on the Spaniard, especially sighting him as a prospect in the long run.
