Atlético Madrid rule out signing Dani Olmo

Atlético Madrid have ruled out the possibility of signing midfielder Dani Olmo in the winter transfer window. According to sources from the club, they are not considering any signings in this transfer window and they will not be reinforcing the attacking area, where Olmo plays.

The rojiblanco door is closed at the moment for a player like him, a great player, but far from their plans.
