Barca Unveil Olmo Master Plan

Some changes are being made behind the scenes

Barcelona have reportedy come up with a plan to get the best out of Dani Olmo in his second season with the club.

Olmo signed last summer from RB Leipzig and went on to score 12 goals and bag six assists in 39 appearances for the club in all competitions.

Yet his campaign was disrupted by a series of muscle injuries, meaning he only ended up making 13 starts in La Liga for Hansi Flick’s side.

According to Diario Sport, the Catalans now have a plan to try and ensure Olmo has much more impact in the coming campaign.

A fitness plan, similar to the one used by Pedri, has been put in place – and Barcelona are hoping it can limit his injury problems and ensure he’s available more often.

The feeling is that Olmo is a game changer due to his “ability to turn games around with his vision, technique, arrivals and goals.”

Barcelona also want to make a few tactical tweaks. The arrival of Nico Williams will mean that Olmo is used more often as a false nine – allowing him the chance to shine.

Olmo was used as a false nine last season on occasion, notably in the 5-1 win over Real Betis where he scored twice.
