Scout report

Key starterGoal-getting Attacking midfielder

Dani Olmo is a 28-year-old attacking midfielder at Barcelona, rated 67.3 overall by Field Insider's model, ranking 178th of 389 on scout potential in the La Liga. An experienced operator, he has been a regular starter this season (69.9% 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 51 — an excellent campaign that ranks top 8% of the 53 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 → 51). Across the 6 seasons we hold, it's his best return yet.

On long-term talent our Rating reads 67, 35th of 53 of the 53 attacking midfielders in the La Liga. At 28 Olmo is in his prime years, and a market index of 56.7 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.

7 goals in 33 appearances (0.21 per game) for a title-challenging side. He also laid on 8 assists, so the all-round involvement reads 15 goal contributions (0.45 per appearance).

Strengths

  • Availability. On the pitch for 69.9% of available minutes — a dependable presence in the XI.
  • Final-third output. 0.65 goal contributions per 90 (0.3 goals, 0.35 assists) — productive for the role.
  • Pedigree. Performing in a top-tier setting (team strength 96/100).

Watch points

  • Few red flags. No obvious weaknesses in the current-season profile — consistency is the next test.

Outlook

With a Rating of 67.3, Olmo carries the 35th-highest potential of the attacking midfielders in the La Liga of 53. In the final third he profiles as a genuine goal threat (0.65 goal contributions per 90). Experienced and reliable, but the value curve is easing (1.2× now → 0.9× projected in three years).
