Fitxa-Olmo1
A goalscorer and a versatile addition who can in midfield or up front

An attack minded forward who can play anywhere up front and in midfield Dani Olmo, born on 7 May 1998 in Terrassa, Catalonia, arrived at La Masia in 2007 from neighbours Espanyol and after seven years in the blaugrana youth system, the Catalan decided to further his career in Croatia, signing for Dinamo Zagreb.  

In Croatia Olmo continued to develop as a player and put together an impressive list of honours - five league titles and three Croatia Cups and a Croatian Super Cup - as well being named player of the year in the country on two separate occasions. Whilst playing for Dinamo, Olmo also made his debut in the Champions League.  

In 2020 his talent sparked interest from clubs across Europe and he eventually moved to German club RB Leipzig. His four seasons in the Bundesliga saw him win the German Cup twice and a German Super Cup in which he scored a hat-trick in a 3-0 win away at Bayern Munich.  

In the summer of 2024 the forward returned to Barça to take his place in Hansi Flick's squad.

After representing Spain at youth level, Dani Olmo made his debut for the full national side during qualifiers for Euro 2020, scoring on his first appearance.  

Since then, he has represented his country in the Tokyo Olympics, winning a silver medal, at the World Cup in Qatar in 2022, and in the recent Euro 2024 tournament where he was top scorer with three goals for the victorious Spanish national side.
