The Spanish giants have emerged to be on a successful season early on in the La Liga, as they have started their summer on a strong note. While on the other side, Carlo Ancelotti’s men have struggled recently with draws despite their big choices of Kylian Mbappe and Endrick.

Hence, Hansi Flick has evolved Barcelona for their good, and the absence of their most anticipated summer signing, Nico Williams has never been felt. However, they signed their young boy who is now back with some hairs on his chin.

The former La Masia product has been brought down to Camp Nou, as Dani Olmo has been played at Croatia and then Germany. Olmo played most of his football with Bundesliga club RB Leipzig before he made a 50 million euro move to the Spanish club.

Dani Olmo was a vital player in Spain’s Euro campaign as he scored multiple times in knockout games and made a headed clearance to lead them to the Euro 2024 title.

Barcelona midfielder as reported by Mundo Deportivo, when asked about his rival, picked no other player than Real Madrid legend Luka Modric. Playing most of the youth and early senior football at Dinamo Zagreb, Olmo earlier claimed the Croatian legend to be his inspiration.

Hence, more than rival it would be perfect to say that the Spaniard seems more like a fan of the Croatian legend, Luka Modric. Modric is marking the end of his decorated career, aged 39 years. He has played for around a decade, and he yet continues to star for the Spanish capital team, with the days of his international career coming to an end with the last Euro, though his chances to feature in the Nations League seem unknown.
