Arsenal Rebuffed as Dani Olmo Chooses to Stay at Barcelona

April 2026

Arsenal reportedly tried to sign Dani Olmo, but the move went nowhere because the midfielder wants to stay at Barcelona. Reports say Mikel Arteta was interested, but Olmo has rejected both Premier League interest and a major Saudi offer. Current reporting says Olmo turned down Al Qadsiah despite a very lucrative proposal and remains committed to Barcelona under Hansi Flick. That makes any Arsenal move highly unlikely in the short term unless Barcelona actively decide to sell, which is not what the latest reports indicate.
