Dani Olmo Childhood Story – Family Background and Early Life:

For Biography starters, he bears the nickname “Olmic“. Daniel “Dani” Olmo Carvajal was born on the 7th day of May 1998 in the city of Terrassa in Spain.

He was born to his little known mother and to his father – Miquel Olmo Forte (a former professional footballer turned coach).

Here is one of Dani Olmo’s parents (his dad), who is well documented in this article.

The Spanish national of mixed ethnicity with Spanish and Croatian family origins was raised in his birth city in Terrassa, where he grew up alongside his older brother, identified as Carlos.

Growing up in a middle-class family background setting at Terrassa, Baby Olmo was a fun-loving kid who watched his brother enjoy playing football with his dad.

He soon became a partaker of the family’s sporting passion for learning how to walk while his dad and brother guided him to higher levels of fun in football.

Dani Olmo Education and Career Buildup:

Olmo was still very young when his dad enrolled him in the local football club, Terrassa FC for training.

Although the then little boy was two years younger to be part of the club’s “Benjamin” squad, he was nonetheless admitted for considerable reasons.

To start with, Olmo’s father, Miquel was the coach of Terrassa at the time. Above all, the football prodigy exhibited sufficient early life emotional and tactical intelligence that made up for what he lacked in age numbers.

Dani Olmo Biography – Early Career Life:

The grounds of Terrassa FC were more than training surfaces for young Olmo. They were in fact, exhibition platforms for the youngster whose precocious ability on the ball was of interest to neighbouring clubs, including RCD Espanyol.

The joy of Dani Olmo’s parents, especially his dad, knew no bounds at the time his son passed trials with the Barcelona-based club.

When the time was right, an 8-year-old Olmo joined RCD Espanyol in 2006 to begin an earnest career in football. “Earnest” because he began playing more competitive football kilometres away from his comfort zone.

Dani Olmo Biography – The Journey to Fame:

It is worthwhile to note that Olmo was not an ugly duckling at RCD Espanyol, neither was he non-prosperous when he arrived at Barcelona academy as a 9-year-old in 2007.

In fact, he recorded a quick and impressive rise through the La Masia ranks finishing as Top Scorer in four out of his six-season with the club’s youth side.

Not just a youth player: Dani Olmo was a starlet for the most part of his rise at Barcelona's academy.

Things began going south for the then-teenager when two Korean players arrived. The new kids – Kyeol-heui Jang and Lee Seung-woo – a winger and centre forward, respectively, had big reputations as well as a strong media presence surrounding them.

As a result, Olmo was marginalized in the under-16 team. The development made Olmo join Dinamo Zagreb in a rather surprising move because he sensed a bleak future at Barcelona.

Dani Olmo Bio – Success Story:

Dinamo Zagreb was a brave new world for Olmo, who made his first-team debut with the Croatian side in February 2015 and went on to become a reliable goalscorer at the club.

He was even named the best player of the Croatian First Football League for 2018 and finished at 11th place in Tuttosport’s Golden Boy award, ahead of the likes of Josip Brekalo and Kylian Mbappé.

Fast forward to the time of writing, Olmo has achieved a meteoric rise similar to that achieved by Gabriel Barbosa, Alfredo Morelos, Lys Mousset, and Rodrygo Goes.

He is an established Winger / Attacking midfielder who has over time drawn interest from the English sides of Chelsea and Manchester United. Not forgetting, he, alongside Pablo Sarabia, Mikel Oyarzabal, Morata, etc., are a key figure for the Spanish national team.

He is also being sought after by Barcelona, who are confident of signing their one-time starlet that got away to make a name for himself in Croatia. The rest, as they say, is history.
