According to SPORT, Olmo’s family have been spotted celebrating his return in Barcelona shirts bearing his name and the number 20, a new squad number for the versatile midfielder.
Olmo previously wore number 7 for Leipzig and number 10 for Spain.
Olmo’s journey back to Barcelona began in 2007 when he joined the academy, spending seven years developing his skills before seeking first-team opportunities with Dinamo Zagreb and later Leipzig.
He impressed with 29 goals and 34 assists in 148 appearances for Leipzig.
Barcelona’s transfer business may not be over, as reports suggest the club remains keen on reuniting Olmo with Spain teammate Nico Williams, whose €58m release clause has caught their attention.
President Joan Laporta is said to be personally overseeing negotiations for the Athletic Club winger.
