Dani Olmo could fill striker role for Barcelona after Robert Lewandowski's departure

With Barcelona's transfer strategy currently focused on strengthening their attacking options, speculation over who will eventually succeed Robert Lewandowski has continued to grow.

The Catalan club have been exploring the market for a new No. 9 and are targeting Julian Alvarez as their preferred addition up front.

However, Olmo is confident the squad already possesses enough attacking depth and flexibility to cope if no deal is completed. He insisted he would have no hesitation in playing in a more advanced role if head coach Hansi Flick required it.

The Spain international also pointed to Ferran Torres as a proven option through the middle after his productive goalscoring campaign last season.

Olmo added that new arrival Anthony Gordon is another player capable of featuring as a central striker.

"I've already played in this position and I wouldn't have any problem playing there if the manager considers it necessary. I feel comfortable there," he said, as per Mundo Deportivo.

"I also see Ferran Torres, a player who scored a lot of goals last year and will continue to do so because he's a great player, and now we also have [Anthony] Gordon, who I understand can also play in this position.

"So we have enough players to cover it, and if others arrive, they'll be welcome to add to the squad."
