A few seasons ago, when the journalists asked Pep Guardiola about Ferran Torres‘ desire to leave Manchester City and go to Barcelona, the Spaniard said that the call from such Spanish giants like Barca or Real Madrid is tough to turn down, and that he fully understands the player. Since then, a lot of players came to Camp Nou in order to fulfill their childhood dreams, and agreed to many things, just to put that famous shirt. The Catalans are in a financial crisis, but their history is their biggest asset and the brand called ‘Barcelona‘ can still help them in order to keep players which they cannot afford. Have you ever heard a situation in which a star player cannot play for his current club and is free to sign for any other team but doesn‘t want to? Can you imagine a situation in which that footballer is playing for Crystal Palace of Fulham and still doesn‘t want to leave? Surely no, but when Dani Olmo‘s registration failes twice and he is still in Barcelona, it‘s purely because of his love towards the club. And his agent just confirmed that. Barca’s key policy: You’re not penniless as long as you have what to sellThere were speculations about Olmo‘s possible transfer, when the Catalans failed to register him for the second time, especially after his agent Andy Bara went to Manchester. But speaking to a transfer guru Fabrizio Romano, Bara wanted to make sure that his agent will wait calmly for Barcelona to resolve this problem. “It’s a stressful situation for Dani as it would be for any other player. But he’s a great player and person, he’s trying to stay calm. Of course Dani is a winner and he loves playing the games, not watching them! Barcelona is the first and last option. Dani, his father, the family, me, we are not thinking about other options. We are not negotiating with any club. Dani is a Barcelona player and he wants to be a Barcelona player. He has made a great effort in his life to be at Barcelona. It has been his wish for a long time“ said Andy Bara for GiveMeSport. ‘Frankly’ de Jong on his spell with Barca: ‘In terms of trophies, it’s disappointing’Olmo‘s agent tried to explain that the project and the love towards Barcelona were the main reasons for him to continue to wait for his registration. “We have never made a professional decision based on money. Dani plays football because he loves football and he made a huge effort to be at Barcelona. I am also happy to have Dani at Barcelona, he is one of the best players in the world in one of the biggest clubs in the world. Money is not everything in life and in football. We respect President Laporta and Deco. They made a great effort to sign Dani last summer. We like their project, it is a great project for the future, one of the best in the world in the coming years. We fully believe that Barcelona will win all the titles in the future as it did during the Messi era. The player, the family, myself. We all wanted Dani to be at Barcelona” he said. ##NAJAVA_MECA_8609863##
