Date and time set for Dani Olmo’s presentation as new Barcelona player

After weeks of speculations, FC Barcelona are all set to wrap up the signing of former La Masia prodigy Dani Olmo from RB Leipzig.

There is an agreement between the clubs over a €55 million deal, with another €7 million in add-ons while the player has also agreed a six-year contract with Barcelona until 2030.

Having flown to Catalonia on Tuesday night itself, Olmo underwent his medicals yesterday and cleared them successfully. An official announcement of his transfer is imminent.

Presentation date and time

Now, Gerard Romero has come forward with updates regarding the official presentation ceremony for Dani Olmo as a new Barcelona player.

As per the journalist, the Spaniard will be presented in front of the media as a new signing by the Blaugrana tomorrow, i.e., August 9 (Friday).

The presentation will take place at Ciutat Esportiva from 11 am in the morning, where he will sign his contracts with Barça president Joan Laporta.

It will be followed by a press conference during which Olmo will answer questions from the media.

It will be a special occasion for the 26-year-old attacking midfielder who left Barcelona back in 2014 as a youngster to join Dinamo Zagreb and now returns to his boyhood club a decade later.

The presentation ceremony could also offer confirmation about the shirt number that Olmo might take at Barcelona, with reports suggesting that the UEFA Euro 2024 will be donning the No. 20 jersey left vacant after former captain Sergi Roberto’s exit.

It will be interesting to see whether Olmo will be available to play in the Joan Gamper Trophy match against AS Monaco on Monday or if fans will have to wait to see him on the field until the La Liga opener against Valencia.
