The signing of Dani Olmo for Barça is now official. The Egarense will join the Barça squad as one of the great reinforcements in attack, which he will take to another level with his quality and versatility
Dani Olmo is now officially a FC Barcelona player. After a long 'soap opera' that lasted for several weeks, the Egarense finally fulfilled his dream and will wear the Barça shirt, in principle, for six seasons, until June 30, 2030. The footballer returns 'home' after a decade abroad, where he showed his quality to the world in the ranks of Dinamo Zagreb and RB Leipzig.
The footballer lands in Barcelona as a star reinforcement for the team's offensive. Hansi Flick expressly requested the signing of him, since he considers that he is a player who can contribute a lot to the plan that he plans to implement on the field of play at the Spotify Camp Nou. In Euro 2024, first from the bench and then as a starter, Olmo made it clear that he is one of the footballers with the most 'magic' today, showing a creativity in the final third that few currently possess.
But this creativity must be accompanied by the technique that allows this idea to be executed, and Dani has plenty of it. The international with the Spanish team is a 'refined' standing midfielder.He is probably not the fastest, but with his dribbling ability he makes up for this 'vulnebarility'. On the edge of the area he is a 'lethal' footballer, because in addition to almost always making the right decision, his good hitting makes him a 'threat' in front of the rival goal.
Dani understands the game very well. He is one of his greatest strengths. His football IQ allows him to position himself correctly in each attack and then he has a sense of smell in 3/4 of the field, often arriving as a 'surprise' element from behind to punish opposing defenses. This was proven in the last 'Euro', where these characteristics allowed him to celebrate 3 goals and distribute 2 assists, making him one of the most decisive players in Luis de la Fuente's team.
His versatility, his great strength
However, his best quality is his ability to adapt to different positions on the pitch. Playing as '10' is where he performs best, since he has enough field to deploy all his weapons and generate more danger. However, the footballer can also act as a winger on both sides, although better on the left, and even as a 'false 9'. Hansi Flick has a new 'Swiss army knife' in the Egarense, who aims to be a key piece in the new and exciting project that is beginning to be built at the Spotify Camp Nou.
