After the Barça entity confirmed his arrival through their social networks, the midfielder gave his first statements as a culé to the club's media.

Now a new stage begins and we are going for everything," acknowledged the Euro 2024 champion, who also valued the great effort made by Barça to hire him."It was my dream, but we must also highlight Barça's efforts to bring me, we must value it. I am proud that they love me and I am proud to be here," he said.

His contribution to the Flick team

Finally, Dani stated that he joins the squad led by Hansi Flick to contribute "polyvalence, quality, touch... I have already played with many Barça players.
