Arsenal and Manchester City reportedly submit 'very attractive financial offers' to Barcelona attacker Dani Olmo, who is at the centre of a registration issue.

Arsenal and Manchester City have reportedly sent offers to sign Barcelona attacker Dani Olmo in the January transfer window.

Olmo has registered six goals and provided one assist in 14 competitive appearances since he completed a €60m (£49.7m) from RB Leipzig in the summer.

While he only joined Barcelona in August, Olmo has seen his future with the club called into question due to an issue surrounding his registration.

As a result of their well-documented financial issues, Barcelona were only able to register Olmo with La Liga due to Andreas Christensen's injury, but his current registration will expire on December 31.

As a result, the Catalan giants will have to find a new solution otherwise the Euro 2024 winner could become available as a free agent in January due to a clause in his contract.

Arsenal, Man City table Olmo offers

Olmo's uncertain situation has seemingly caught the attention of two Premier League giants, who are ready to pounce if Barcelona fail to resolve the situation.

According to El Nacional, Arsenal and Man City have sent 'very attractive financial offers' to the Spain international.

It would certainly represent a real coup if either Arsenal or Man City were able to sign a player of Olmo's quality on a free transfer.

German giants Bayern Munich are also showing an interest, although they are yet to submit a proposal to the former Leipzig man.

Barcelona pushing to find solution

While Arsenal and Man City are ready to take advantage of the uncertain situation, Barcelona are working hard to find a solution to keep one of their key attackers at the club.

According to Jijantes.com, the player's father, Miquel Olmo and lawyer Ramon Valencia met with Barcelona on Thursday to discuss the current situation.

The Catalan giants are exploring a potential court order as one way of registering Olmo beyond the end of the calendar year.

A hearing will be held on Monday, with a decision expected to be made on December 27 as to whether the court will request La Liga to approve the registration on the basis that he is being refused his right to work.
