Deco Explains Dani Olmo Signing and Nico Williams Snub | Barcelona Director on Midfielder's 'Hunger to Win' and Squad Options

Barcelona director Deco has shed light on the club's decision to sign Dani Olmo, highlighting the midfielder's unique qualities and hunger to win. Deco stated, “We have signed Dani Olmo as he is the midfielder we didn't have... There was a lot of quality, but Dani was a player we lacked.”

Deco emphasized Olmo's impact, saying, “Dani gives us this hunger to win. Barça has always been a mix of home players and hungry footballers.” He also addressed the decision not to sign Nico Williams, citing the team's existing options: “We didn't sign Nico Williams as we have Raphinha, Ferran, Ansu, Lamine plus Fermin and Olmo to help there.”

Deco reiterated the value of Dani Olmo's signing, saying, “Dani Olmo gives us more options rather than signing one more winger.” This suggests that Olmo's versatility and skillset were key factors in Barcelona's decision-making process.
