Dani Olmo has said that Barcelona represented "the best option" for him over the summer despite the likes of Liverpool and Chelsea allegedly making offers for him.

The 26-year-old returned to Barcelona from RB Leipzig on August 9, and he has made a strong start to his career at the club, scoring twice in two La Liga appearances.

There is believed to have been Premier League interest in Olmo over the summer, with Liverpool and Chelsea thought to have made offers, but the Spain international said that Barcelona were always his first choice.

"I was clear that I wanted to come to Barca. I knew it was the best option and I didn't think much about it," he told RAC 1.

Olmo had to wait to make his debut for the Catalan giants due to registration issues, but he never had any fears that he would be unable to represent the club.

Olmo was also linked with Liverpool and Chelsea

"I knew it would be sorted out. I wanted to play as soon as possible, but I also knew that this situation could happen. In the end, it was the dream debut in Vallecas. Barca showed me that they wanted me," he said.

"Those who haven't seen me, will now have the opportunity to do so. With Barca we have clear objectives. Whoever comes to this club has to have a winning mentality."

Olmo also said that Barcelona boss Hansi Flick "played a key role" in his move to Camp Nou.

"He has played a key role. The position where he sees me and where I've been playing at Leipzig and with Spain, the connection with players like Pedri or Lamine [Yamal]," he added.

"Everything makes it much easier and that's why my adaptation has been so quick. He is very clear about what he asks of me."

When are Barcelona back in action?

Barcelona will resume their 2024-25 La Liga campaign with a clash against Catalan rival Girona on September 15, before heading to Monaco in their Champions League opener four days later.

Flick's side have made an excellent start to the new season, winning all four of their league matches against Valencia, Athletic Bilbao, Rayo Vallecano and Real Valladolid to top the table on 12 points.

Olmo was on the scoresheet in Barcelona's 7-0 success over Real Valladolid last time out, and he is now with the Spain squad preparing for their two fixtures in the UEFA Nations League against Serbia and Switzerland.
