Arsenal and Man City set to battle for £52m star after secret contract clause emerges Arsenal are monitoring Dani Olmo with Barcelona unsure whether they will be able to register the attacking midfielder for the second half of the season.
With Barcelona's financial issues already well documented, it's emerged that Olmo has only been registered with La Liga until December 31 - and there are fears he will not be able to feature for Hansi Flick's side beyond that date.
But Sky Sports pundit Jamie Redknapp says that even if Arsenal do decide to sign a new No.9, there has to be a place for Gabriel Jesus, who ended his long goal drought by scoring five times inside a week.
Reports in Spain claim that could pave the way for Olmo to leave the club on a free agent due to a contract clause which which would kick in if he cannot be registered.
Barcelona executives Deco and Joan Laporta - the club's president - are 'scrambling' to find a solution ahead of the New Year, which could leave them vulnerable to approaches from some of Europe's elite in the winter transfer window.
