Dani Olmo Open to Barcelona Striker Role

6 Jul 2026

Dani Olmo has said he would have no problem playing as a striker for Barcelona if required, offering insight into Hansi Flick’s possible attacking plans. His flexibility could become important if the club cannot add a natural successor to Robert Lewandowski quickly. Olmo is not a traditional centre-forward, but his movement, intelligence and technical quality could make him useful in a fluid role. Barcelona’s squad planning may depend on whether versatility can cover a position that normally demands specialist finishing.
