Olmo says he has more to offer Barcelona after Spain duty
Dani Olmo said he still has room to contribute more at Barcelona while speaking with Spain during the international break. He explained that Hansi Flick asks him to attack vertically and find spaces, whereas Luis de la Fuente gives him more freedom between the lines. Olmo also praised Lamine Yamal, saying the teenager keeps improving and has added goals to his game.
Dani Olmo, 28, spoke to journalists during Spain’s international break before Tuesday’s Nations League fixture against Croatia. The Barcelona forward said Hansi Flick wants him to push forward quickly and exploit open areas, while Luis de la Fuente gives him greater freedom in central attacking zones. Olmo added that he is comfortable in both setups and still feels he can offer more to Barcelona after winning trophies there.
He also praised Lamine Yamal, noting the teenager keeps maturing and has added scoring to his game, making him valuable for both Barcelona and Spain. Olmo called his return to Croatia, where he spent six years after leaving Barcelona, a joyful experience.
Olmo’s remarks may shape how Barcelona supporters and La Liga observers view his role under Flick, possibly raising expectations for his attacking output. His praise of Lamine Yamal could further elevate the teenager’s public profile, affecting fans, media coverage, and commercial interest around club and country. For Spain followers, the contrast between Flick’s and De la Fuente’s demands may fuel discussion about versatile attackers, though any broader impact remains uncertain.
