Barcelona superstar faces national team exile as registration hangs in the balance

Dani Olmo’s signing saga with Barcelona has taken an unexpected turn, as highlighted by Mundo Deportivo.

The midfielder, who is not yet registered in La Liga, is in a precarious situation, since without proper registration he cannot join the Spanish team, which creates a situation that raises important doubts about his immediate future.

Currently, Olmo’s registration status with FC Barcelona remains unresolved, leaving his participation in professional football this season in jeopardy.

If the situation persists and he does not play for any club, Olmo will not be eligible for the national team until his license issues are resolved. This is a crucial issue, considering Olmo’s role as a vital player for Spain under Luis de la Fuente’s government.

Having Olmo available is key to the national team’s aspirations, especially after his pivotal contribution to Spain’s European Championship triumph last summer.

However, national team rules stipulate that only players registered with a club are eligible for selection.

What is the situation like?

Barcelona, ​​for its part, is actively working to solve this problem.

Recent updates suggest that the club is set to operate under La Liga’s 1:1 Financial Fair Play rule from tomorrow, with the league expected to approve the move and this change expected to pave the way for the registration of Elm.

As part of its strategy, Barcelona is pressuring the Spanish Football Federation (RFEF) to treat Olmo’s case as a force majeure situation.

This would potentially allow the club to register him despite previous complications. However, the process remains complex, as La Liga, which validates player licenses, initially determined that Barcelona did not meet the requirements to register Olmo.

The final decision now depends on the RFEF’s ratification of La Liga’s position. Barcelona are optimistic about reaching a resolution soon, with tomorrow being a crucial day to determine their future.
