pgzen Barcelona sporting director Deco has explained the club’s key summer 2024 deal, with RB Leipzig’s Dani Olmo a different midfielder to the team’s current offerings, but Athletic Bilbao winger Nico Williams has similar qualities to the one he has on his plate. pgzen

Barca were linked with a move for two players from the Spanish national team that won Euro 2024, Olmo and Nico Williams, but ended up paying only for the 26-year-old attacker, worth €60 million.  ( pgzen )

This raises questions about why they didn’t bring Nico from San Mames, even though the player seemed interested. 

For this reason, the famous director took the opportunity to explain the strategy for building a force to feed to coach Hansi Flick to withstand the long 2024-25 season, saying that a variety of weapons is more important than the same old tricks in many colors. 

“We didn’t sign Nico Williams because we have Rafinha, Ferran Torres, Ansu Fati, Lamine Yamal, plus Firmin Lopez and Dani Olmo who can play on the wings,” he told Mundo Deportivo.

“Dani opens us up to more options than just signing one winger,” 

“He is a midfielder that we don’t have.” 

“The squad already had quality, but Dani was the one we were missing.” 

“He gives us the opportunity to play with a hunger to win. Barcelona is usually a mix of homegrown players and ambitious players.”

Although it was not until Matchday 3 that he was able to register for the competition , Olmo responded by playing in 2 matches and scoring 2 goals .
