The wait is over: Dani Olmo is officially a Barcelona player after his signing was announced by the Catalan club on Friday. Olmo joins from RB Leipzig on a six-year deal, and returns home after a decade away since leaving La Masia . Dani spoke to the club’s social media and gave his first statement as a Barça player, and Olmo is very ambitious and excited to begin the next chapter of his career at his home.
“I’m here to win every title possible. We are Barça and we must compete for everything. We have the team, we have the players, we have the staff.
We are going for it all. “I am very happy, it’s a dream come true. I’m very happy to return home, with my family and with national teammates.
I’m every excited to start all of it. “The negotiations were intense, but that’s normal. Everything was done very fast with Leipzig and I’m also very thankful to them.
Now a new chapter begins and we’re going for it all. “This was my dream but Barça also made a huge effort to bring me here, I have to value that. I’m proud that they wanted me here.
“I bring versatility, quality, good touch. I’ve already played with many Barça players, but I’m also excited to play with others like Frenkie or Lewandowski, players of so much quality. I am ready and excited to contribute and win.

Fans will always gravitate towards those who truly mean it when they say they love Barça, and even those who are skeptical about Dani Olmo’s signing might be convinced by his desire to wear the shirt and fight for the badge in every game. Oh, and he’s a damn good player too.
I for one am truly excited and I’ll wait to see him in action until I judge whether or not he’s a luxury signing or someone who can add a lot of quality to Hansi Flick’s system. And if his words are anything to go by, Dani Olmo is here to help lead Barça back to glory..
