The British Tribune reported on the 7th (Korea time) 'Dani Olmo recalled that he once had to take a picture with Messi against his will.
Olmo from Spain was one of the prospects who experienced Barcelona Youth La Masia youth team. Olmo, then 9, joined La Masia in 2007 and made his professional debut through Dynamo Zagreb Youth after gaining experience in La Masia until 2014. Olmo, who played for Dynamo Zagreb, later started playing in the top five European leagues in 2020 by wearing RB Leipzig uniforms and is one of the most notable players in the Bundesliga.
Olmo said he took a picture with Messi just before he joined La Masia in the past, and he did not welcome the photo shoot with Messi, who was growing into Barcelona's best player at the time.

However, despite Olmo's refusal, Olmo's father did not miss the opportunity. In the end, Olmo came out and sat next to Messi while playing soccer, and had to take a picture.
Olmo said of the time of the photoshoot "I didn't say anything to Messi. I just went back to the ball because I was waiting for a photo shoot. As if he was doing him a favor." Rather, he explained that he was not more interested in taking pictures.
Meanwhile, Olmo was recently mentioned as a candidate for Manchester City, Tottenham, and Barcelona along with his performance. In particular, Barcelona is reportedly seeking Olmo's return through a 60 million-euro buyout.
