Player Watch Player Watch: Giovani Lo Celso

[pelayo59]

Yep. With @Hercules info about that potential youngster Dani Olmo makes sense. A lot of clubs want him, has a massive potential. Versatile player.

Can someone predend to know something about Dani Olmo so I can pretend to know something about Dani Olmo?

He's got good close control, plays for Zagreb, can play across the 3 in attacking midfield but not uptop on his own and has been recently linked to united.

Source: My united supporting mate who watched a 2 minute youtube clip and gave me the lowdown.

Dani Olmo is a Spanish footballer who plays for Croatian club Dinamo Zagreb. He can play as either a winger or attacking midfielder

He was part of the Spanish squad that won 2019 UEFA European Under-21 Championship in Italy and San Marino, playing four matches, assisting one goal and scoring three including one in the final which made him be named Man of the Match.

That would seem to fit the mystery U21 to whom there were no press links yet, yeah?

He’s 21, valenciayid and Herc seemed to suggest much younger than 21

I was yearning for Karamoko Dembele tbh

Olmo is highly regarded at Dinamo Zagreb and won MOTM in the Euro u21 Final win vs Germany. Never seen him play but by all means seems he's a star in the making

Based on that article, it seems we want Dani Olmo in before Lo Celso??

Tbf I'm a bit confused because it's translated from Spanish, bur it sounds close which is strange but good

Yep, only age doesn't fit with that info tbf

Watched him when he came in against hearts I think it was, looks a proper talent

 

[SpartanSpur]

Maybe betis are offering Olmo a starting role with a decent buyout clause. Could be solid career progression from Zagreb?

 

[JKendall13]

I had my half-Spanish flatmate begrudgingly translate this and it seems we’re also negotiating for Dani Olmo. He was another star of the Spanish u21 team alongside Ceballos, both made all tournament team.

He’s a winger who randomly moved from la Masia to Dinamo Zagreb as a 17 year old. He’s won player of the season in the Croatian League the last two seasons. Was linked to United earlier this week.

I took it as us wanting to sign him as well. Google translate may have mistranslated though.

You’re right! And he’s saying we’re close to signing him.... could this be the under 21 that was under the radar or out of left field?

Yeah saw that game too he looks like he's going to the very top, It was the way that ValenciaYid was saying much younger than 21 that gave me a slither of hope.

Don’t see why a journalist that covered specifically Betis would know about a guy playing Croatia, especially as the first to mention it

He's saying Olmo is going to us.

Probably due to the negotiations with Betis, we know GLC wants us so we're putting negotiations on hold maybe?

Olmo is linked with clubs like Barca, Milan, United or Leverkusen. Don’t think he would join them

 

[Musathfc28]

Be nice to have a decent Spanish source lol I didn't here anyone talking about olmo and then suddenly put of nowhere he maybe joining lol

 

[Yiddo100]

He replied to a tweet

 

[ButchCassidy]

Olmo plays on the wing, right? Maybe that’s what changed for us to allow Clarke to go back on loan then...
