the huge announcement from Olmo's agent on the player's future

It's a speech that should make Barça supporters smile. Arriving this summer in Catalonia from RB Leipzig, Dani Olmo was unable to be registered until December 31 only thanks to the injury to Andreas Christensen. But on January 1, Joan Laporta failed to present the necessary financial guarantees with La Liga to register his player again. Negotiations continue and the Barcelona president must present new guarantees in the coming hours in order to clarify this situation. And while the player has remained silent until now, it is his agent Andy Bara who wanted to speak in the columns of GiveMeSport.

The opportunity for him to once again affirm Olmo's attachment to Barça.This is a stressful situation for Dani, as it would be for any other player. (…) We do not negotiate with any club. Dani is a Barcelona player, and he wants to be a Barcelona player. He made great efforts in his life to be in Barcelona. It was his desire for a long time“, he explained, supporting the fact that his player had never made decisions for money in his career. “We never made a career decision for money. Dani plays football because he loves the game. He made a huge effort to be at Barcelona. I am also happy to have Dani in Barcelona; he's one of the best players in the world at one of the biggest clubs in the world. Yes, it's true. Bayern offered more money, and the marketing aspect was also more important. But we gave our word in Leipzig“.

To conclude, he explained that he still trusts Joan Laporta and Deco while highlighting Barça's long-term project: “We respect President Laporta and Deco. They made a big effort to bring Dani in last summer. We like their project; it is a great project for the future, one of the best in the world in the years to come. We fully believe that Barcelona will win all the titles in the future, like they did in the Messi era. The player, the family, and myself all wanted Dani to be at Barcelona“. The message is clear.
