Olmo returns to training but won’t be rushed back by Barca

BARCELONA, SPAIN - MARCH 27: Dani Olmo of FC Barcelona warms up during the Spanish league, La Liga EA Sports, football match played between FC Barcelona and CA Osasuna at Estadi Olimpic Lluis Companys on March 27, 2025 in Barcelona, Spain. Olmo picked up his latest injury against Osasuna but was only expected to miss a couple of weeks and looks like he’ll be available for selection again shortly. The forward has thought to have been targeting a return in the second leg of Barca’s Champions League tie with Dortmund but may not be risked now as Hansi Flick’s side will take a commanding 4-0 lead into the game. Flick also has plenty of in-form options to choose from right now. Fermin Lopez and Gavi has both impressed while Olmo has been out, while Ferran Torres is another attacking option in t...

Deco explains why Barca signed Dani Olmo and not Nico

Barcelona sporting director Deco has revealed why the club decided to buy Dani Olmo rather than Nico Williams in the summer transfer window. The Catalans were linked with Williams all summer. Joan Laporta said the club could afford to sign the Athletic star, but Barca opted to splash out on Olmo instead. Here’s what Deco’s said in an interview with Barca One when asked about the transfers. “A high-level winger was needed. We have Raphinha, Ferran, the return of Ansu who was very good in pre-season but had a foot injury, we have Lamine ... We have players who can play as wingers like Fermín or Dani Olmo . “We were clear that to bring in a player he had to be of a very high level. But in the end, signing Dani Olmo gave you more options. It’s not that we haven’t spoken with clubs and play...

Dani Olmo reveals how Deco and Hansi Flick paved his path to Barcelona

It’s been a few days since Barcelona’s impressive 2-1 win over Rayo Vallecano and the biggest talking point from the game after Marc Bernal’s unfortunate ACL injury was the incredible debut of Dani Olmo. The 26-year-old Spaniard came on in the second half for Ferran Torres and completely changed the game on its head. He scored the matchwinner for Barcelona but even otherwise, his general play was outstanding. If this is a sign of things to come, Barcelona fans will certainly be excited. Olmo had an excellent sync with the rest of his teammates and one would have thought that the 26-year-old has been playing at the club for years. Barcelona signed Olmo from RB Leipzig for around €60m. The ex-La Masia graduate returned to his boyhood club in what was a marquee transfer. Even after coming ...

Hansi Flick shares his honest verdict on Dani Olmo’s debut for Barcelona

Barcelona’s first 45 minutes against Rayo lacked spark and imagination. On a difficult ground that hasn’t favored the club in recent seasons, Hansi Flick’s team looked out of ideas after conceding an early goal. Things changed at half-time when the German coach took off Ferran Torres to bring on Dani Olmo. Coming on for his debut, the 26-year-old midfield star changed the complexion of the game and looked sharp with every touch on the pitch. Eventually, it was Olmo who netted the match-winner after Lamine Yamal’s cut-back found him in space inside the box. The ex-RB Leipzig man cut inside on his left foot and produced a Lionel Messi-esque finish on debut. Hansi Flick was understandably happy with the 26-year-old’s debut performance against Rayo. As quoted by Mundo Deportivo, the G...

Gundogan’s exit still not enough for Barca to register Olmo

Ilkay Gundogan is leaving Barcelona after just one year to sign for Manchester City but his departure is reportedly still not enough to register Dani Olmo. It’s been widely reported that one of the key reasons for Gundogan’s exit is for Barcelona to free up some space on the wage bill for their new signing. However, COPE are reporting that Gundogan’s departure is not enough and another exit is needed by the Catalan giants. A new Nike kit deal might also be enought but there’s no word on that, even though Joan Laporta claimed he’d have news shortly just about a month ago.Barcelona are finalising Vitor Roque’s exit to Real Betis at the moment, but the Brazilian isn’t registered for the new season yet either. Mikayil Faye is another player expected to move on, while Clement Lengle...

Dani Olmo’s predicted Barcelona jersey number

An insight into the predicted jersey number set to be taken by incoming Barcelona signing Dani Olmo has on Wednesday been forthcoming. Attacking midfielder Olmo is of course set to be unveiled as the latest addition to new Barcelona boss Hansi Flick’s squad at any moment. This comes after Deco and the Camp Nou brass reached a definitive agreement with their counterparts at RB Leipzig, over the terms of a big-money transfer. Olmo has already touched down in Catalunya’s capital, ahead of undergoing a round of medical tests, and being unveiled to the Barca fanbase on Friday. And, if the latest word stemming from the media on Wednesday is anything to go by, the Euro 2024 winner could well do so whilst donning his new jersey number. The number in question? 20.
