De la Fuente: Olmo possesses exceptional talent.

The 2026 World Cup will kick off this month, and Spain will face Cape Verde in their first Group H match. In an interview, De la Fuente stated that Olmo, who plays for Barcelona, is a very well-rounded player with exceptional talent.

In the 2025/26 La Liga season, the 28-year-old Olmo contributed 7 goals and 8 assists for Barcelona, and ultimately helped Flick's team win the La Liga title.

It's worth mentioning that Olmo scored in the final of the 2019 European U21 Championship, helping Spain U21 win the title.

Spain's head coach, De la Fuente, said, "Olmo has played as a right winger, left winger, and attacking midfielder, and he scored the winning goal as a center forward in the final of the European U21 Championship. Olmo has extremely outstanding football talent."

“He is a very complete player who can play in multiple high-level positions. There are not many players like Olmo who can find space and make an impact in different defensive lines.”

De la Fuente also said, "In the Euro 2016 match against Germany, he played as a winger and delivered crosses, and in the quarter-final match, he provided a crucial assist for Merino."

“No matter what position he is placed in, he is an exceptional player. It is a great pleasure for us to have a player who can play almost any role.”

In addition, Saudi Arabia and Uruguay are also in Group H with Spain, and players like Yamal, Ferran Torres, Gavi, and Merino are also in the same squad as Olmo.
