Dani Olmo will be officially announced as a new Barça player this FridayHe underwent a medical examination on Wednesday and will be presented, if there are no changes in plans, on Friday. Ten years after leaving the club for Croatia, he returns in style after having become one of the great footballers on a continental level. His triumph in the last European Championship with the Spanish national team only confirmed this.
The player is now waiting to sign his new contract, which will tie him to Barça for six seasons, until June 30, 2030. Among the many issues he has already discussed with the club is, of course, the number. Although it is not 100% confirmed, Everything points to the number chosen by Dani Olmo being ’20’The choice is surprising because it is a number that he has never worn before throughout his career, both at grassroots and professional level.
Farewell to the captain
This decision, on the other hand, would confirm the definitive farewell of Sergi Roberto, owner of the ’20’ until his contract ended on June 30 and he left his number free. The footballer and the club are clear that their paths are separating and, therefore, there is no problem for Olmo to honor the shirt worn by the man who was the first captain of the Blaugrana squad.
The ’20’ is also one of the numbers that are still free among the 25 registered as first team players that LaLiga allows. As is the ’10’ while Ansu Fati is not registered, if he ends up being part of the squad once he recovers from the injury that prevented him from going on the tour of the United States.
