Dani Olmo, a 28-year-old midfielder from Barcelona, wants to finish his career in the transfer market of Dinamo Zagreb, as revealed by his representative, Andy Bara, on the podcast 'Inkubator.' The player is under contract with Barça until June 2030, so the statement indicates a long-term goal rather than an immediate departure.

Bara explained that Olmo maintains his bond with the Croatian club even while playing in Barcelona. According to the agent, the footballer keeps a Dinamo shirt with the number 7 and his name at home, a reference to the period he spent in Zagreb between 2014 and 2020.

Dani Olmo Keeps Dinamo as His Final Destination

The relationship between Dani Olmo and Dinamo Zagreb began when he joined the club at 16 years old from Barcelona's academy. There he completed his training, debuted with the first team, and stayed until January 2020, when he was transferred to RB Leipzig.

The return to Zagreb is not linked to a specific date. Bara stated that Olmo hopes to conclude his career there and added that he also considers starting his coaching career at Dinamo when he retires from professional football.

The connection is not solely a sporting matter. The agent revealed that since leaving Dinamo, Olmo allocates 2% of his annual gross salary to initiatives related to Vukovar, a practice he reportedly maintained during his stints at Leipzig and Barcelona.

Barcelona Is Not an Immediate Passing Station

Dani Olmo remains under contract with Barcelona until 2030, and his current situation does not suggest an imminent move to Dinamo. This season he has 0 goals and 3 assists in LaLiga, according to Opta, after playing 7 matches and clocking 259 minutes.

The player has also been featured in January transfer market news. Bayern is considering a potential signing if they lose Jamal Musiala or Michael Olise, although Sky Sports values him at around 70 million euros, and other reports indicate that there is no formal offer yet.

Bayern's interest also has a direct precedent: Olmo played four seasons at RB Leipzig before joining Barcelona in 2024 in a deal valued at around 55-61 million euros, as per the source used.

For now, the immediate scenario continues to revolve around Barcelona and his contract until 2030. On the other hand, Dinamo Zagreb stands out as the destination Olmo wishes to reserve for the end of his career, while Bayern represents a market possibility for January 2027 that has not yet materialized into a confirmed negotiation.
