Barcelona coach Hansi Flick is eagerly anticipating the registration of summer signing Dani Olmo in time for their upcoming LaLiga match against Athletic Club at the Olympic Stadium on Saturday. Olmo, who recently joined Barça from RB Leipzig for a significant fee, has yet to make his debut due to the club exceeding their spending limit.
The team is working diligently to ensure Olmo's availability for the crucial fixture, with recent player departures freeing up space for registrations. Flick expressed his optimism about Olmo's potential impact on the team, highlighting his exceptional skills and readiness to contribute.
Aside from Olmo's registration, Barcelona is also actively involved in potential player movements, with deals in progress for the departure of Vitor Roque and Mikayil Faye. Several other players, including Clément Lenglet and Ansu Fati, could also be on the move before the transfer window closes.
Despite transfer speculations, Flick remains focused on the current squad, emphasizing the importance of working with the players at his disposal. The team's recent victory over Valencia has boosted morale, and Flick is confident in their preparation for the upcoming challenge against Athletic.
Athletic Club, led by Spain winger Nico Williams, presents a formidable opponent for Barcelona. Flick acknowledged Williams' talent but assured that his team is prepared to face the threat posed by the Basque side's attack.
Athletic coach Ernesto Valverde downplayed the transfer rumors surrounding Williams, emphasizing the player's commitment to the club and readiness to focus on the upcoming season.
As the anticipation builds for the LaLiga showdown, both teams are gearing up for a competitive encounter at the Olympic Stadium, with fans eagerly awaiting the outcome of this highly anticipated match.
