Dani Olmo: returning to Barcelona after 10 years
Reliable bookmaker 1xBet tells us about the Hollywood turns of the European champion’s career.
SURPASS MESSI AND RONALDO In January 2020, RB Leipzig paid 34.2 million euros for Dani Olmo, setting their transfer record. The Spaniard was again moving to a club specialising in developing young talents, but this time from a top league. Olmo quickly adapted to the higher demands. He scored 29 goals and made 34 assists in 148 games for RB Leipzig. At the same time, Dani often showed himself at the most critical moments in the club’s history: • Olmo’s goal helped the Red Bulls beat Atletico and sensationally reach the Champions League semi finals in 2020
• In 2022, the Spaniard converted his penalty in the DFB-Pokal final to help the team win its first trophy.
D
ani Olmo started at the Espanyol academy, which has produced many famous footballers. However, the future star joined Barcelona in 2007, when the boy was only 9. After all, La Masia is the number one academy in the city and, perhaps, in the whole world.
After 7 years in the structure of FC Barcelona, the 1xBet official partner, Dani had to focus on how to get into the great club’s first team. However, in 2014, 16-year-old Olmo decided to move to Dinamo Zagreb. Our hero admitted that he feared the high competition in Barcelona and did not want to become a mediocre footballer. Some might say it was weakness and lack of self-confidence. In fact, Dani Olmo soberly assessed his prospects. Any golden generation has only one drawback - it closes the door to the next generation of talents. Olmo could have irretrievably lost time waiting for the departure of La Masia graduates Leo Messi and Andres Iniesta or Neymar and Luis Suarez, bought from other clubs. “Would I have achieved what I have now if I had stayed in Barcelona then? I don’t think so,” Dani Olmo later said.
FOLLOWING THE STARS The Dinamo Zagreb management promised Olmo he would be a key figure in the club’s new project. Still, Dani took a risk by moving to Croatia at such a young age, which is very different from Spain in culture and many other respects. Meanwhile, the 1xPartners members are protected from risks and always receive favourable conditions. 1xAffiliates affiliate

What was Olmo’s plan? Dinamo Zagreb had already built a conveyor belt for training talented footballers long before the Spaniard arrived, and it still works well. Luka Modrić, Dejan Lovren, Mario Mandžukić, Mateo Kovačić, Marcelo Brozović, Andrej Kramarić, Joško Gvardiol - this is far from a complete list of stars who went through the Croatian leading club’s school.
“I didn’t know anything about Croatia, but I wasn’t worried about playing in a league that wasn’t top. The country has a different football culture, and I learned much about the physical aspect. In Spain, everything was based on working with the ball. At 16, I got the opportunity to train with the Croatia national team. It was a big step for me,” Olmo recalls. At 16, Dani debuted in the main Croatian league and played 124 matches in all tournaments for Dinamo Zagreb, scoring 34 goals and making 28 assists. The competition in the squad was high here, too, so the Spaniard only secured a place in the starting XI at the age of 19. As a result, Olmo became the Croatia champion 5 times and was twice recognized as the season’s best player.
• In 2023, Olmo contributed to two more titles: he made the winning assist in the Cup final and scored a hat-trick in the DFL-Supercup match against Bayern. Even Messi and Ronaldo have never scored 3 goals per game in Munich!
HOME SWEET HOME
At Euro 2024, Dani Olmo did a lot for Spain’s triumph. He scored 3 goals and made 2 assists, becoming the main hero of the quarter final against Germany (goal + assist after coming on as a substitute) and the semifinal against France (the winning goal). After such success, the footballer wanted a promotion. So, 10 years later, Barcelona decided to acquire its own student (albeit after the failure with the transfer of another Euro 2024 hero, Nico Williams), paying 55 million euros for Olmo.
Due to registration difficulties and injury, Dani played only 4 matches for Blaugranas, scoring 3 goals. The player’s skills are obvious - he is technical, inventive, and versatile. In terms of merits, Olmo can compete with 1xPartners, which guarantees:
- automatic weekly commission payouts - rapidly updated real-time stats - a personal assistant to help resolve customer issues
“Hansi Flick knows me from the Bundesliga and my best position behind the striker. Still, I will play where he puts me,” says Olmo, ready for serious competition with Raphinha, Lamine Yamal, Pedri, Ferran Torres, and Fermin Lopez. Since childhood, our hero has been used to fighting for a place in the sun - just as the participants of the 1xBet Affiliate Program are used to generous weekly payments.
