Latest transfer news and rumors: Barca consider selling Olmo

The transfer window may be closed, but the rumor mill never stops. Check in every day for the latest transfer buzz around the soccer world.

Top story: Olmo could spark EPL bidding war

Barcelona will seriously consider selling Dani Olmo next summer. The 27-year-old had an impressive first season with Barca, scoring 10 goals and assisting three times despite starting just 13 La Liga matches, but he's had a slow start to the new campaign.

There's been strong interest in Olmo from the Premier League in the past, promising Barcelona a huge windfall if one of its clubs flexes its financial muscle and attempts to sign him. Olmo is also aware that his playing style would be a perfect fit in English football. (Fichajes)
