Barcelona manager Ernesto Valverde has said he's an admirer of Dinamo Zagreb starlet Dani Olmo, although Valverde was coy regarding speculation linking the forward with a move to the Camp Nou.

Olmo was one of the standout young players in the UEFA Champions League group stages this season, proving his quality on the biggest stage in European football. Unsurprisingly, rumours have started to intensify over a possible transfer for the 21-year-old, with the Blaugrana linked.

Speaking on Friday, Valverde was asked about the rumours but gave little away in regard to Barcelona's supposed interest, per John Skilbeck of Goal.
