Let’s get this straight: Olmo didn’t just return to FC Barcelona—he swaggered back in like a man with unfinished business and a new pair of boots. After a decade away and a €55 million transfer from RB Leipzig, the 27-year-old Spanish international made it clear he’s not here to sip cortados in the Catalan sun. Despite battling injury setbacks that sidelined him for 15 games, he still tallied 11 goals and seven assists across 37 appearances. Not bad for a guy who had to reintroduce himself to the locker room Wi-Fi.
Olmo puts in a treble shift
Barcelona, under new boss Hansi Flick, pulled off a rare domestic treble—La Liga, Copa del Rey, and the Spanish Super Cup. And guess who was at the heart of it? Yep, Olmo. The man played like someone who had accidentally read his critics’ tweets and took them personally. Every time he was fit, he was in the XI, doing what he does best—spinning defenders like pizzas and threading passes that should come with subtitles.
Manchester City dreaming, but Olmo’s not packing
Now, when Pep Guardiola starts “dreaming” about a player, you know eyebrows will rise faster than a VAR offside flag. Manchester City has reportedly set their sights on Olmo, seeing in him the kind of slick, cerebral playmaker that fits Pep’s philosophy like a bespoke suit. But Olmo’s agent, Andy Bara, decided to play party pooper. “We’re not talking to any other club,” he told Sky Germany, clearly shutting the transfer window on City’s fingers.
Olmo’s happy, Barça’s happy, the fans can exhale
Though registration issues and fitness problems tried their best to derail him, Olmo stayed the course. Three trophies later, he’s not just back—he’s back with silverware, swagger, and the adoration of the Camp Nou. And for now, Manchester City fans can go back to dreaming about signing someone else’s midfielder.
Conclusion: The tree is bearing fruit
So, from Leipzig to La Liga glory, Olmo has proven he’s not just a feel-good return story—he’s a vital cog in Barcelona’s machine. Injuries may have bruised the ride, but the end result? A glorious treble. With his agent slamming the exit door shut (for now), it’s clear: Olmo is rooted in Barcelona… and this tree’s not being transplanted just yet.
