Dinamo Zagreb's Spanish winger Dani Olmo, in a recent interview, revealed that his former club FC Barcelona have contacted him to bring him back to Spain. The 21-year-old winger/attacking midfielder was part of 'La Masia' between 2007-2014 before he decided to move to Dinamo Zagreb. Dani Olmo quickly made a name for himself in Croatia with his stunning performance for Dinamo Zagreb as he became the first-choice player for the club despite his young age. Olmo was also included in the Spanish national team for their Euro 2020 qualifying campaign.
