The Atlético de Madrid coach gives his opinion on the Olmo-Barcelona registration saga: “I hope the rules apply to everyone”

The Atlético de Madrid coach, Diego Simeone, has intervened in the current situation of Dani Olmo, which has become a major problem for Barcelona.

Simeone appeared to echo the sentiment of Real Madrid coach Carlo Ancelotti in expressing his hope for uniformity in the application of football’s rules.

When asked when it is fair that Barcelona can register Olmo in violation of the rules governing the Spanish competition for other clubs, Simeone said:

Well, you are asking the question and answering it. we simply I hope the same rules apply to all.

“Of course, I don’t doubt that this will happen. If you are allowed to play, then welcome, but if the rules do not allow you to, then you will not be able to play.”, he said quoted by SPORT.

What is the latest news on the problem?

At the moment, Barcelona has not been able to register Dani Olmo and Pau Víctor despite being three days into the year.

The club remains fully committed to resolving the matter through the usual legal channels, believing that both players will continue to represent the club. blaugrana in the second half of the season.

However, if the issue remains unresolved, a worst-case scenario looms, in which both players could terminate their contracts just 24 hours before the winter transfer window closes.

Joan Laporta and the club management are actively addressing the problem.

Previously, a high-level meeting was held at the Camp Nou offices in which Laporta was joined by vice president Rafa Yuste, director Joan Soler and financial manager Ferran Olive.

During the discussion, they reviewed the latest developments and formulated a plan to secure the players’ registration.

According to the information presented, Laporta would have assured Barcelona coach Hansi Flick that he was confident that the necessary approvals would be obtained.

There is a lot of speculation

There is speculation that Laporta could address the media today, assuming Olmo and Victor are successfully registered by then.

The club is optimistic and has presented all the required documentation to both La Liga and the Spanish Football Federation (RFEF).

At the moment, Barcelona does not contemplate alternative results. However, until the governing bodies make an official statement, no public comments or updates will be provided.
