Why do we want him ?
He has to be as good as FDJ so that Valverde ( disgusting piece of shit ) has no option but to start him eitherwise he'll start Rakitic - Busquets combo again together with FDJ.
No point in wasting 40mil for a player only to put him on the bench. For that money or less , i'd get Eriksen.
Exactly. You either get rid of Valverde or you bring him experienced players. Stop bringing in talents who needs polishing and developing from the managerial staff, unless they are De Jong, Mbappe levels.
I think Mbappe after two months of this slow, static football without any space opening, he would be another clown with big ego, trips to France, meat eather...whatever
Good player, good kid...will look awful in this slow, static so called football.
He is a versatile player can play CM and R/L wing. He will definitely play for one of the big teams next season.

Potentially just next Denis, impossible to tell from a Croatian league standout, I don't think he has incredible balance, ball control, super clever... Seems like just a well-rounded player, but nothing really stands out.
So, he sounds like Alena.. why did we loan Alena then? Except If olmo is considered a big talent or something.
People will get offended, but Alena and Puig are shit to meh.
Olmo 21 years:
28 youth NT matches
Won Euro U21 with Spain, scored 3 goals
Debuted for Spanish NT and scored a goal on debut
Alena 22 years:
34 youth NT matches
Wasn't called for Euro U21 in 2019
Puig 20 years:
Never called for any youth Nt team in his life
So, if you guys rate Alena and Puig, then Olmo is a level above them.
Whether he will be good enough for Barca is a different question.
In attack he is better than both Alena and Puig.
In defense he is better than both Alena and Puig.
And he has a better physique.
Also, he has played at La Masia from his age 9 to 16 and then left to Dinamo as part of Halilovic's transfer from Dinamo to Barca.
But if he is considered "just a well-rounded player, but nothing really stands out" as [MENTION=21797]clemente[/MENTION] said, it begs the question why would we buy him? We don't need squad players. We need starters. Alena was a decent squad player, so it makes little sense to swap him for a better, version who will still warm the bench 80% of the time. Except if the board consider him a future starter or see more potential in him.
