You Won't Believe It! Dani Olmo Refused to Take a Photo with Messi and Now Begs for His Jersey

Look at that, the stir Dani Olmo has caused. The Barcelona kid, now a star in Spain, turns out that when he was a youngster he refused to take a photo with Lionel Messi. Yes, you read that right. You won’t believe it, what’s wrong with this kid? Now, with the Scaloneta in his heart and the Argentine National Team in his sights, he wants Leo’s jersey. This is crazy!

Here’s the story: in 2016, when Olmo played for Dinamo Zagreb, Barça went to play a friendly and the Croatian had the chance to have his photo taken with Messi. And what did he do? He turned it down! «I don’t want a photo, I want his jersey,» he said. But he didn’t ask for it at the time. Now, years later, he confessed that he regrets it and wants that jersey more than anything. Here comes the request!

Dani Olmo is a crack, I’m not saying he isn’t. But this thing about refusing a photo with the greatest… It’s like a River Plate fan saying no to a photo with Gallardo. Crazy! Still, the kid admits it: «Messi is the best in history, an idol for everyone.» And now, with the Scaloneta winning everything, he surely wants to have that memory.

The good thing is that Olmo is young, 26 years old, and can still cross paths with Leo. Will it happen? Hopefully yes, because the image of the two together would be epic. Meanwhile, Argentine fans look at him fondly: he’s a great player who grew up with the legend of Messi. Go Argentina!

So now you know, Dani: if you see Leo, don’t be shy. Ask for his jersey and the photo. Don’t let it slip again! Come on, the Scaloneta awaits you.
