Dani Olmo will be culé and at FCBN we take advantage of the occasion to clarify the details surrounding the presentation of the Egarense with the FC Barcelona shirt and all the protocol acts that this entails
Without official confirmation, FC Barcelona would have Dani Olmo as their first signing in this summer market 2024/25. According to various sources, the transfer is said to have been closed for a fixed transfer fee of around €55 million, plus another seven million in variables.
The player from Terrassa reportedly passed the routine medical examination successfully last Wednesday, indicating a step forward in the transfer process. All signs point to the official announcement of the return of the former Dinamo Zagreb player to the Blaugrana team, from which he left at the age of 16 without making his debut in the first team, being very close.
When will Dani Olmo be presented with FC Barcelona?
However, despite initial reports suggesting that the presentation of the player from Terrassa could take place on Friday, August 9 at Camp Tito Vilanova in the Ciudad Deportiva at 11:00 a.m., the same source that broke this news, 'Jijantes', also revealed that the event had been canceled.
Given this situation, there is little certainty regarding when the presentation of the versatile player will take place. For instance, 'Mundo Deportivo' suggests that his presentation could be expected on Monday, August 12, coinciding with the day when the Blaugrana team participates in the Joan Gamper Trophy. This event would take place after he signs his contract as a new player for the Barcelona team on Friday, August 9, and a photo session with club president, Joan Laporta.
Other details about the arrival of the player to the club
Reports suggest that the new 'star' could wear the number '20', which, on the other hand, could somewhat confirm the possible departure of Sergi Roberto from FC Barcelona. This number has been characteristic of the player from Reus since the 2014/15 season, and it is still under debate whether the club will offer him a new contract.
Furthermore, it is not entirely ruled out that Dani Olmo's exciting debut could take place in the Joan Gamper Trophy, a match scheduled to be played against AS Monaco at the Estadi Olímpic Lluís Companys. An ideal scenario to introduce the '10' of 'La Roja' to his new fan base.
