Dani Olmo, a player for Barcelona, has indicated his willingness to play in the center forward position should coach Hansi Flick deem it necessary. This statement comes as the club continues its pursuit of Julian Alvarez. Alvarez, an Argentine striker, has been identified as a primary target to potentially replace Robert Lewandowski.
However, securing an agreement with Atletico Madrid remains challenging. Despite the ongoing efforts to sign Alvarez, Olmo expressed confidence in the squad’s depth, suggesting that the team possesses sufficient alternatives even if the transfer does not materialize. He pointed to existing players as evidence of the team’s capability in the attacking unit.
“Look at Ferran Torres, a player who scored many goals last season and will continue to do so because he is a great footballer. Now we also have Anthony Gordon, who, in my opinion, can also play in that position,” Olmo stated. Olmo concluded by asserting, “So, we have enough players to cover that role and…” This suggests that the squad depth provides multiple options for the center-forward role, mitigating the immediate pressure surrounding a single high-profile signing like Alvarez.
The focus remains on adapting the attacking structure while awaiting a resolution regarding the potential transfer of Alvarez to Barcelona.
