Dani Olmo warns who will be the next stars of La Masia: "A lot of quality at 16 years old..."

One of the standout names at FC Barcelona this season has undoubtedly been Dani Olmo. Hailing from Terrassa, he arrived alongside Pau Víctor as one of the club's bets to strengthen the Blaugrana squad for the 2024-25 season.

This bet has proven to be very successful, as the Egarese player has integrated perfectly into Hansi Flick's sporting project, scoring six goals and providing an assist in 14 matches. He has made it clear that he is possibly one of the best options to bolster the club's attacking midfield, being a creative player who brings something different every time he receives the ball in the final third of the offensive field. He adds a touch of quality and magic to Barcelona's offense.

Recently, the name of Dani Olmo has once again come into the spotlight not due to any stellar performance on the field but because of an interview he granted to the YouTube channel of the Buyer brothers (xBuyer), Javier and Eric, as part of a campaign by Adidas, the clothing brand that sponsors them. During the conversation, he addressed various topics about the Catalan team and also about himself.

The player he has the best chemistry with at FC Barcelona

In this regard, Dani Olmo mentioned the player he enjoys playing with the most, highlighting his teammate in the midfield and a key part of Hansi Flick's double pivot scheme. "Pedri. It's very easy to play with him. I mean, you see him on the field and... he makes everything easy with both feet. Do you know what I said? I get it and pass it to Pedri. There you go," began the '20'.

Furthermore, the Terrassa native mentioned a player from La Masia who has stood out in the 2024-2025 season and has pleasantly surprised him, despite not having been on his radar previously due to his limited participation last season: "Well, the one that surprised me the most, now you know him a bit more, was Casadó. I didn't know him as much because he didn't participate as much last year, and this year he has been consistent, and the level he is showing is spectacular."

The 'gems' from La Masia that catch his attention the most

Regarding La Masia, Dani Olmo also pointed out two young players who have not yet had the opportunity to debut in the first team but with whom he has coincided in some training sessions. He stated that the cousins Fernández (Guille and Toni) will be the next big stars to emerge from the talented Blaugrana academy: "A lot of quality, man, both of them. One left-footed and the other right-footed. Plus, on the same team and at Barça. A lot of quality at 16 years old. Watch out."

What sets Barcelona apart from other clubs he has been with?

Finally, Dani Olmo compared the mindset of the current sporting project at FC Barcelona to other teams he has been a part of. He highlighted the distinctive mentality of the Catalan entity. "The players' mindset is different. Besides being a big team, it's a team that wants to win everything every year. A draw or a loss is not enough, at Barça, it's about winning, winning, and winning every game," he concluded.
