Named: FOUR Premier League clubs join Man United and Man City in fight to sign £50m Barcelona star Dani Olmo for FREE, with just hours until he is set to be 'kicked out' in registration battle

Four English clubs have joined Manchester United and City among those circling for Dani Olmo as the clock ticks down on Barcelona's chances of registering him with LaLiga. The Catalan side's second attempt to register their summer signing for the second half of the season was rejected by the Court of First Instance 47 of Barcelona yesterday.
The attacking midfielder was a £50million signing from Red Bull Leipzig in the summer but could only be registered on a temporary arrangement until the end of the calendar year owing to LaLiga's ongoing financial constraints on Barcelona. It means Olmo can leave as a free agent in January if Spain's football federation continue to block his registration as they push for the Catalan giants to make more cuts, find more revenue and comply with their financial guidelines.
Barcelona have instigated legal proceedings against LaLiga and were initially hopeful of reaching a resolution before next week but these have twice been kicked back and their Spanish star is inching closer to the door. And it seems England's biggest sides are lining up in the race to secure his signature, with Liverpool, Chelsea and Tottenham joining early frontrunners United, City and Arsenal, Mundo Deportivo reports.
Dani Olmo looks to be heading towards the Barcelona door European giants are interested. Pep Guardiola's City are among those circling for the star who could be free to leave in January. Ruben Amorim is looking to bolster his United side and is keeping an eye on Olmo.
