  WHAT HAPPENED?

  After links with Arsenal and Manchester City this month, PSG are now reported by to be keeping tabs on Olmo's bizarre situation at Barcelona. The French giants have been tipped to make a move if things are not resolved in Catalonia, with PSG coach Luis Enrique already familiar with Olmo from the Spain national team setup.

  THE BIGGER PICTURE

  Olmo's future is only uncertain because of Barcelona's continued financial strife. The Euro 2024 winner joined for €60 million (£50m/$63m) from RB Leipzig last summer but couldn't initially be registered in accordance with strict La Liga salary limits until the club were able to offset Andreas Christensen's wages due to injury. But with the Dane returning to fitness, Barca are back to square one unless they can raise the necessary revenue. A legal challenge to try and force Olmo's registration has already failed, which is a desperate blow given the possibility of the player walking away as a free agent.

• DID YOU KNOW?

  Barcelona will remain financially hamstrung as long as they stay on La Liga's harshest spending rules, allowing them to only reinvest a fraction of money received or saved. The club has been rumoured several times in recent months to be close to returning to normality, but that has yet to materialise. These limitations are also why Ilkay Gundogan was let go on a free transfer and why Nico Williams was out of reach last summer.

  WHAT NEXT?

  Barcelona need to find money that will allow them to register Olmo before it is too late and they risk losing him. One option could be to sell other players, with Christensen one of those linked with a January exit and Newcastle United an apparent suitor.
