Recent sources have claimed that the Spanish star was part of Barcelona's training session, his debut as a senior Barca player. Even though Olmo might not be available in the Joan Gamper fixture due to his presentation on the same day, he surely would be a great addition to Flick's squad once he becomes available.

""Dani Olmo is an ideal signing for any coach and any club, especially for Barça. He has shown that for now, he is one of the most important players. He is decisive and gives any coach many possibilities.""

Olmo's Spanish teammate Pedri had this to express on his home return:

""I'm very happy with Dani Olmo's signing. We get along very well, and he can certainly contribute a lot. It was already shown in the Euros.""

Olmo, a La Masia prodigy, knows the club from the inside out. Being a Spanish teammate with Pedri, Lamine Yamal, and Fermin, his coordination would be clinical for FC Barcelona's next season. Dani Olmo had expressed his excitation to represent FC Barcelona,

""I have already played with many Barça players. There is a lot of quality here; I want to play with players like Lewandowski; I am ready to contribute.""
