Dani Olmo admits leaving Barcelona as a youth teamer was a gamble.

The RB Leipzig attacker left Barca as a teen for Dinamo Zagreb.

He explained to Common Goal: "I was happy at Bara. In four of the six years I was there I was top scorer, I played as a forward and winger, I was also an Under-16 and Under-17 international.

(But) what I wanted was a sporting project for me and Dinamo gave me that.

"When you leave Bara it's not all rosy and in Croatia I understood it. There I became a man in every sense, both on the field and off it."
