Tensions increase when Barcelona players demand clarity from Joan Laporta about Dani Olmo

Barcelona is currently going through a turbulent phase marked by complications in the registrations of Dani Olmo and Pau Víctor and this situation has left the players unsure about their future, causing some frustration within the squad.

Recent events, as reported by SPORT, indicate that this confusion has reached a boiling point, prompting direct intervention from both Hansi Flick and Joan Laporta.

The matter began with the revelation that neither Olmo nor Víctor could join the team for its Copa del Rey debut due to lack of registration.

This situation generated discomfort among the players, as can be seen from their reactions after the Barbastro match.

Recognizing the unrest within the team, Laporta reportedly asked coach Hansi Flick to address the team and clarify the matter before his trip.

However, the response from the players was far from positive. Many within the team reportedly felt that this was an issue that lay squarely with the club’s management and not the coaching staff.

Discontent was evident, leaving Flick uneasy about the players’ reactions. Realizing the seriousness of the situation, Flick urged Laporta to address the players directly and give them further explanations.

Laporta intervenes

The president, who had planned to attend the official pre-match events in Barbastro, quickly adjusted his agenda.

Instead of traveling early with the team, Laporta met with the players at the Ciutat Esportiva Joan Gamper. During this urgent meeting, he offered assurances and outlined the club’s legal strategy to resolve registration issues.

This gesture from Laporta seemed to ease tensions, as both Olmo and Víctor appreciated the president’s efforts.

However, the episode highlights the challenges that Barcelona continue to face behind the scenes, even as their goal is to maintain harmony within the team.
