FC Barcelona: Dani Olmo has already won everyone over

Dani Olmo has had a promising start with FC Barcelona, quickly gaining admiration after a difficult summer transfer window for the club. Signed following a successful Euro 2024, he initially raised some doubts, particularly due to his injury history. However, after a few months, his performances, including a brace against Espanyol, have swiftly quelled skepticism.

With five goals in five La Liga matches, Olmo is integrating perfectly into the team, thanks to his unique talent for positioning himself ideally between the lines. His coach, Hansi Flick, grants him a degree of freedom, allowing him to shine alongside teammates like Lamine Yamal.

The question of his place in the starting eleven is now being raised, given the competition within the squad, but his versatility gives him an advantage over his rivals. As a busy schedule approaches, Olmo has already made an impression, and the club’s management will soon need to decide on his registration for the second half of the season.
