Not Messi. Valdano names Barcelona's best signing of the last decade
Over the past few decades, Barcelona has made numerous signings, but only one caught the attention of former Real Madrid player and coach Jorge Valdano, who highlighted an active player from the current squad.
Details: The Argentine singled out Barcelona midfielder Dani Olmo, who, amidst the Catalan club's attacking struggles, could potentially assist Robert Lewandowski if the Spaniard is deployed in a playmaker role.
Quote: “The absence of Lamine Yamal leads to a chain of consequences, such as Olmo dropping to the wing. Dani can play wherever he wants. He can play as a central striker, on the right, on the left, but when he plays as a playmaker, he brings an incredible fluidity to the team.
He is the best signing Barcelona has made in the last few decades; he is truly an outstanding player, and what's convenient is that he influences the most important area of the pitch. Yamal's absence forces him into a secondary position, but for him, that is a starting role,” Valdano said in an interview with Mundo Deportivo.
