Barcelona 'planning Raheem Sterling, Dani Olmo loan bids'

Barcelona are reportedly lining up loan approaches for Manchester City's Raheem Sterling and RB Leipzig's Dani Olmo at the start of 2022.

The Catalan giants will be in the market for new players in the winter transfer window but will be restricted due to their financial problems.

Sterling and Olmo both continue to be linked with moves to Camp Nou, and according to Marca, the Catalan giants are preparing to launch loan offers for both players.

The report claims that Barcelona will include options to buy in the proposed agreements, which could tempt Man City and Leipzig into allowing the two attackers to leave.

Sterling has only scored twice in 15 appearances for Pep Guardiola's side this season and has dropped down the pecking order at the club following Jack Grealish's arrival over the summer.

Meanwhile, Olmo, who is also being strongly linked with Manchester United, is allegedly keen on a move away from Leipzig, and he could return to the club that he represented between 2007 and 2014.
