It is no secret that Barcelona has a pending problem with the signings of Dani Olmo and Pau Víctor.
However, according to Javier Miguel, the club intends to include both players in the squad for their trip to Saudi Arabia for the Spanish Super Cup, even if they do not participate in matches.
This decision stems from Hansi Flick’s desire to keep the players integrated into the team and not isolate them during this critical period.
He cannot play in the Copa del Rey
The challenges began during Barcelona’s Copa del Rey match against Barbastro. Both Olmo and Víctor were not available because they were not officially registered with the Spanish Football Federation (RFEF).
This was especially significant for the young striker, as he was almost guaranteed a place in the starting lineup. In the end, Flick had no choice but to call in other players to fill the void.
Although Barcelona has returned to operating under the standard 1:1 financial rule, which gives them more flexibility, the signings of Olmo and Víctor remain unresolved.
Why are they not registered yet?
The root of the problem lies in the different interpretations of the rules, specifically “force majeure” according to article 130 of the General Regulations. The League and the RFEF have opposing views on the matter, which creates a bureaucratic obstacle.
Barcelona is actively pushing to find a solution. In fact, on Friday night the club sent updated documentation to both LaLiga and the RFEF in the hope of resolving the dispute.
However, the RFEF has not yet formally processed any requests from La Liga for the duo’s registrations, further delaying their ability to participate.
As a result, both Olmo and Víctor were left out of the Copa del Rey squad and are unlikely to play in the Spanish Super Cup against Athletic Club.
Despite this, the two players are expected to travel with the team to maintain their involvement and team spirit.
