Barcelona has suffered another setback in their attempt to register Spanish forward Dani Olmo for the remainder of the season, losing an appeal just one day before the registration deadline. The club had hoped to resolve the issue swiftly, but the Spanish FA’s firm stance has left Barca in a precarious position.
Olmo, who joined Barcelona earlier this season, has expressed his desire to remain at the club despite ongoing registration complications. However, multiple clubs across Europe are closely monitoring the situation, sensing an opportunity to swoop in should the matter remain unresolved.
Barcelona initially managed to register Olmo for the first half of the campaign after significant financial maneuvering. Unfortunately, that registration expired on December 31, leaving Olmo in limbo. Although Barcelona claims to have secured the necessary funds to extend his registration, the Spanish FA has cited regulations that prohibit clubs from registering the same player twice within a single season.
As a result, Olmo is currently ineligible to play for Barcelona. Technically, he is now considered a free agent, free to negotiate with any club. Despite this, sources close to the player suggest he intends to stay put, hoping Barcelona can navigate the complexities and find a resolution before the end of the transfer window.
The uncertainty surrounding Olmo’s situation casts a shadow over Barcelona’s plans for the remainder of the season. While the club scrambles to address the issue, the looming possibility of losing one of Spain’s brightest talents without compensation underscores the precarious financial and regulatory landscape the Catalan giants continue to navigate.
La Liga clubs will go to court against La Liga if Dani Olmo is registered. They will consider it a special treatment for Barcelona.
