FC Barcelona is fighting a crucial battle, both economically and sportingly, for the signings of Dani Olmo and Pau Víctor.
Both La Liga and the Spanish Football Federation (RFEF) have rejected the club’s request to reissue licenses to players and re-register them, citing regulatory limitations.
The situation has led the culés to go to the Higher Sports Council (CSD) for a resolution, where they ask for precautionary measures to register Olmo and Víctor.
and, the blaugrana They may have received a big boost in their chances of succeeding in their appeal to the CSD.
The favorable report from the RFEF could help Barcelona
Precisely, according to RAC1, the RFEF has issued a legal report that recognizes the possibility that the current regulations are not entirely applicable to this specific case involving Barcelona.
This report, now in the hands of the club, will be one of the fundamental arguments presented by the CSD in its request for a provisional measure that allows Olmo and Pau Víctor to play.
The RFEF report recognizes that the regulations in question cited to deny licenses to the Barça duo were intended for cases of players who intended to terminate their contract or other related cases.
The situation involving Olmo and Pau Víctor, however, presents unique complexities. As a result, the Federation is already reviewing the rules and future modifications may be introduced to avoid similar problems affecting other players.
While the report could provide significant leverage for Barcelona, the CDS will still have to decide whether it finds the argument compelling. Currently, the regulations are explicit and the club has not complied with them.
Barcelona plan to present their full argument early tomorrow morning to the CSD, who will also seek counterarguments from both La Liga and the RFEF before making a decision.
A ruling is expected by the end of the week. Unfortunately for Barcelona, this schedule will likely rule out Olmo and Pau Víctor for the Spanish Super Cup semi-final against Athletic Club, despite the duo traveling to Saudi Arabia.
Furthermore, there are indications that the CSD may be reluctant to intervene by granting interim measures, raising the possibility that the matter could end up in court if not resolved.
