Dani Olmo has been discussing Barcelona’s search for a new No. 9 to replace Robert Lewandowski ahead of the summer transfer window.
Julian Alvarez has emerged as the club’s top transfer target but Olmo says he would be happy to play in the position if required by Hansi Flick.
“I’ve already played in this position and I wouldn’t have any problem playing there if the manager considers it necessary. I feel comfortable there,” he told RAC1.
“I also see Ferran Torres, a player who scored a lot of goals last year and will continue to do so because he’s a great player, and now we also have Gordon, who I understand can also play in this position. So we have enough players to cover it, and if others arrive, they’ll be welcome to add to the squad.”
Despite Olmo’s words, Barcelona are expected to bring in a new striker. It’s been reported the club will try again to sign Alvarez in the coming weeks but are willing to move on to other targets if Atletico refuse to sell the Argentina star.
