With the court hearing against him, Barcelona is in a crisis over the registration and availability of Dani Olmo.
The Spanish midfielder has had a good start in Catalonia after his return home, but was only registered for the first half of the season.
Despite filing a lawsuit against La Liga and requesting its registration as a precautionary measure, Barcelona has ended up on the losing side of the battle.
In fact, it has now come to light that Olmo will not be able to participate in Barcelona’s matches in January not only in La Liga but also in the Spanish Super Cup, the Copa del Rey and the UEFA Champions League.
Olmo remains calm
As transmitted by ElDesmarque In a recent update, the Barcelona star and his entourage are calm despite the recent news and are confident that the club will find a solution.
The Catalans still have time before the first match in January and the offices are working until midnight to find a solution. The objective, of course, is to have Olmo available at least in time for the Spanish Super Cup.
The Spanish media also brings to light the various plans that Joan Laporta and Co. have in place to ensure that Olmo’s registration is completed on time.
For starters, they are filing a new lawsuit against La Liga and will meet with the league in court on Monday.
Within the framework of the new case, Olmo’s registration request will be given the green light as a precautionary measure, since they consider that La Liga has harmed them in the calculation of the salary bill.
Marc-Andre ter Stegen’s season-ending injury meant Barcelona could use 80% of their cap space to sign a new player and they brought in Wojciech Szczesny for a low fee. They demand that Olmo be registered in the surplus space but La Liga refuses.
If this strategy does not come to fruition, they continue to consider the possibility of selling the rights to the VIP box of the new Spotify Camp Nou to obtain sufficient income.
There is also the possibility that a member of the board of directors contributes some of their personal assets to guarantee Olmo’s registration.
With so many solutions in mind, club and player remain calm and it remains to be seen which of the board’s ploys work.
