Barcelona's Dani Olmo has been removed from the club's registered players, leaving them in a precarious position.
As of January 1st, Dani Olmo's name, along with Pau Víctor's, was removed from Barcelona 's official list of 33 registered players approved by La Liga. The £51m summer signing and Euro 2024 winner with Spain was registered as a special exemption only for the first half of the season because Barcelona 's difficult financial situation couldn't meet La Liga's stringent wage cap restrictions.
He has scored six goals in 15 appearances this season, but won't be able to play for the club again this season after a court twice rejected Barca's appeal to register the player on a second temporary basis. The precautionary registration of Olmo was rejected after 'none of the conditions necessary for the adoption of the precautionary measure were met'. This dramatic move marks the culmination of a confusing time at the Catalan club after they failed to provide any viable solution to register new players before the league's December 31st deadline. The tension within the club's offices escalated on Friday as it became clear that their plan to secure the legal documentation for Olmo and Víctor had unravelled, creating what has to be considered a full-blown scandal. Barcelona remain confident the issue will be sorted but, for now, they are left with a big asset left on the sidelines. This crisis encompasses sporting, financial, and reputational dimensions. On the pitch, Hansi Flick's squad now faces the prospect of losing their marquee summer signing - an asset who could soon walk away for free. Financially, Barcelona has to pay the full 48 million euros (£40m) to RB Leipzig for Olmo, with his long-term contract running until 2030. They will also have to pay him the totality of his contract, a clause added to his contract, which leaves the club with a financial gap of 120 million euros (£100m)
