UMVA has learned that Dani Olmo has definitively ruled out a potential move to Arsenal this summer, affirming his commitment to staying at Barcelona.
The 28-year-old midfielder has just completed his second season with the Catalan club, playing a crucial role in their consecutive La Liga titles. Despite being linked to Arsenal, Olmo is focused on Spain's World Cup campaign and has no intention of leaving Camp Nou.
When asked directly about the rumors surrounding a potential move to Arsenal, Olmo told Mundo Deportivo: 'No, Barca fans can rest easy. As far as I'm concerned, there's nothing to say.'
Olmo also expressed his support for Barcelona's recent signing of Anthony Gordon from Newcastle United, stating that the club should attract top talent. 'Ultimately, the best players have to play for Barca,' he said. 'Gordon is a signing that will raise the team's level.'
Olmo is confident that Barcelona can overcome Paris Saint-Germain and Arsenal to reach the Champions League final next season. 'We're so close. I think we have it, but in the end, it comes down to details, nuances, goals, centimeters,' he said.
The midfielder acknowledged that Barcelona's failure to reach the Champions League final in recent years has been frustrating, but he remains optimistic about the team's chances. 'We're a very young team and we're all sure that sooner rather than later we're going to achieve it,' he said.
Olmo's commitment to Barcelona and his dismissal of Arsenal rumors will likely come as a relief to the club's fans. The team is eager to build on their recent success and make a deep run in the Champions League.
