Scout report

Key starterGoal-getting Attacking midfielder

Dani Olmo is a 28-year-old attacking midfielder at Barcelona, rated 64.9 overall by Field Insider's model, ranking 188th of 389 on scout potential in the La Liga. An experienced operator, he has been a regular starter this season (60.7% of available minutes). He brings 0.65 goal contributions per 90 (0.3 goals, 0.35 assists). Below: strengths, watch-points, market-value outlook and the latest transfer news on Olmo.

Judged on this season alone, Olmo graded 45 — a strong campaign that ranks top 19% of the 27 attacking midfielders in the La Liga, on 7 goals and 8 assists in 33 appearances (0.65 involvements per 90).

Year-on-year, that's a clear step up on last season (Season 35 → 45). Over the 6 seasons on record his form has held fairly steady, peaking in 2020/21.

On long-term talent our Rating reads 65, 18th of 27 of the 27 attacking midfielders in the La Liga. At 28 Olmo is in his prime years, and a market index of 49.2 reflects that trajectory.

Read the appearance count in context: Olmo missed 5 games through injury (shoulder, muscle) out of roughly 38 this season. The 33 he did play is a solid return on the time he was fit, and his ratings are weighted toward those games rather than the ones he sat out injured.
