Dani Olmo’s future at Barcelona has been the subject of intense debates and the recent statements of his agent, Andy Barça, have clarified the situation.
Olmo, who is yet to be officially registered by Barcelona, has been closely monitored by both Manchester United and Manchester City.
However, his agent has made it clear that Olmo’s only goal remains to play for Barcelona, where he has always dreamed of playing.
In an interview with GiveMeSport, Barça provided more details about Olmo’s current situation. He acknowledged the stress the player suffers due to uncertainty, but highlighted Olmo’s resilience and determination to remain calm.
“It is a stressful situation for Dani as it would be for any other player. But he is a great player and person, he is trying to stay calm.
“Of course, Dani is a winner and he loves playing the games, not watching them.” he began to say.
He also made it clear that Olmo’s desire to play for Barcelona has not wavered and there are no negotiations with other clubs.
“We are not negotiating with any club. Dani is a Barcelona player and wants to be. He has made a great effort in his life to be at Barcelona. It was his wish for a long time.
“Barcelona is the first and last option! Dani, his father, my family, I, we are not thinking about other options.” he pointed out.
Olmo will not take advantage of the situation
Olmo’s commitment to Barcelona is rooted in deep personal and emotional reasons. His family, Barça and Olmo himself have expressed their desire to make Barcelona their home.
Barça explained that despite the opportunity to become a free agent and potentially secure a lucrative move, Olmo’s love for the game and his dedication to Barcelona were stronger driving forces in his decision-making process.
For him, it is about playing for a club he has always dreamed of, not the financial rewards that could come with other options.
“We have never made any professional decisions for money. Dani plays football because he loves it, he made a huge effort to be at Barcelona.
“I am also happy to have Dani in Barcelona, he is one of the best players in the world in one of the biggest clubs in the world.”
Appreciation for Barcelona
The agent also praised Barcelona’s efforts to sign Olmo last summer and its respect for the club’s current leadership, including president Joan Laporta and sporting director Deco.
“We respect President Laporta and Deco. They made a big effort to bring Dani in last summer. We like your project, it is great for the future, one of the best in the world in the coming years.”
According to Barça, Barcelona’s project is exciting, and Olmo and his family are confident that the club will return to its glory days, winning titles similar to those of the era when Lionel Messi dominated.
“We fully believe that Barcelona will win all the titles in the future as they did during the Messi era. The player, the family, me. “We all wanted Dani to be at Barcelona.”
Rumors linking City and United
Regarding the current media attention on a possible signing for Manchester United or Manchester City, Barça stated that it remains calm and confident in Barcelona’s ability to find a solution.
“To be honest, I feel calm. It may seem strange, but I believe in President Laporta, in Deco and I believe they will find a solution for Dani. “It is a huge club.”
In closing, Barça expressed optimism that La Liga will support Barcelona in its efforts to register Olmo, allaying any concerns about his availability in the national team.
“I think Barcelona will finalize everything and make it happen. La Liga should help them, instead of these reports that Dani is not available for the national team, but I am sure that he will be at Barça for many years.
““He is happy at the club and Dani wants to be there.” he concluded.
