Reports to Ciutat Esportiva Olmo is back at Barcelona's training facility as preseason begins, having won the World Cup with Spain, according to Jijantes FC.

Impact Olmo contributed two assists across eight appearances during the tournament, continuing a productive stretch that also included seven goals and around eight assists in LaLiga last season despite occasional injury interruptions, with his central creative role in manager Hansi Flick's system unlocked when fully healthy. His main question mark remains availability given his history of muscular issues, though a regular role could push his output even higher this season. Olmo is expected to continue building toward full fitness as the club's preseason continues.

Logs two shots versus Argentina Olmo had two shots (one on goal), one cross (zero accurate) and one chance created in Sunday's 1-0 win over Argentina.

Impact Olmo played a big role in Spain's win, as the first goal happened after he took a shot that was deflected by Thibaut Courtois (undisclosed), allowing Fabian Ruiz to score. Olmo has been a regular starter for Spain all tournament long and should keep his place as long as manager Luis de La Fuente decides to roll with the same 4-2-3-1 tactic against France in the semifinals on Tuesday. He only has one assist, though.

Barcelona's transfer shackles finally off as La Liga lifts massive spending restrictions

Takes three shots in win Olmo registered three shots (zero on goal) and two chances created in Thursday's 3-0 win against Austria.

Impact Olmo didn't find the back of the net in this one, but he was a creative spark in midfield while often connecting well with his Barcelona teammates Pedri and Lamine Yamal. Olmo has been in and out of the starting XI throughout the World Cup, but he could be back in the mix for the Round of 16, with a tougher matchup awaiting against either Croatia or Portugal.

Shot from bench Olmo registered one shot (zero on goal) in Friday's 1-0 victory against Uruguay.

Impact Olmo wouldn't appear Friday until the later parts of the match, entering in the 60th minute. He would see little work as Spain just looked to preserve their lead, notching one shot and 14 passes completed. He has now started in one of Spain's three games so far.

Earns assist Olmo recorded one assist on one chance created to go along with two shots in Sunday's 4-0 win against Saudi Arabia.

Impact Olmo would start Sunday against Saudi Arabia after he was only a substitute in their opener, a good move for Spain management after he earned an assist on Mikel Oyarzabal's 24th-minute goal. He would record a few shots as well, but neither would hit the target. He will push for further starting time, although Fabian Ruiz and Marcos Llorente will also have a strong case for Olmo's starting role in future matches.

JUNE 21 • ROTOWIRE

Should play decent role Olmo has been named in Spain's World Cup squad and is set for a larger and more central role in coach Luis de la Fuente's starting lineup given the current injuries.

Impact Olmo ended a strong campaign with Barcelona having contributed seven goals and eight assists across 33 La Liga appearances, establishing himself as one of the most complete attacking midfielders in the Blaugrana's history-making title-winning side. The attacking midfielder was Spain's joint-top scorer at Euro 2024 and brings the creativity, goal threat and versatility to operate across the front line and in the No. 10 role or on the left wing, making him the natural candidate to fill the void if Lamine Yamal (hamstring) and Nico Williams (hamstring) can't be fit in time. Olmo heads into the World Cup with enormous confidence after a brilliant club season and the determination to prove himself the undisputed star of a Spain side that arrives in North America as one of the genuine favorites to win the tournament.
