Barcelona has not been able to register Dani Olmo for the spring games. If a solution is not found, Olmo may have to stop playing or move quickly to another club.
In a big role in Spain’s shirt, who won the European football gold last summer Dani Olmo is in a special situation. He can’t play.
Olmo moved to Barcelona in the summer from German Leipzig and played normally in the fall season when he was fit.
There hasn’t been anything else ordinary in his season. Due to their financial problems and the league’s salary cap rules, Barcelona was only able to register Olmo in their team for the fall season.
The exception was granted when several of Barcelona’s core players suffered long-term injuries. By the book 80 percent of the injured player’s salary can be used to register another player.
Now the other players have recovered, and the injury clause can no longer be used. Olmo and another summer acquisition Pau Victor are without a gaming license, and one may not be forthcoming.
The Spanish Football Association and the main league La Liga rejected on Saturday Barcelona’s latest attempt to register players for the spring season. Barcelona could not deliver documents proving the improvement of the financial situation in time.
According to league rules, a player cannot be registered again during the same season. This problem became topical at the turn of the year, when Barcelona was unable to renew player registrations before the previous ones expired.
Barcelona took the previous rejection to court, but the appeal was rejected after Christmas. Barcelona are now believed to be seeking an exemption to continue player registrations through Spain’s national sports council, CSD.
If the registration is not successful, Olmo may have to be on the sidelines for the entire rest of the season. It is also possible that he will move to another club during the January transfer window. According to media reports There is a clause in Olmo’s contract that enables a free transfer. However, the player himself has expressed his desire to commit to Barcelona.
According to the Spanish newspaper Marca On Monday, Olmo and Victor will probably travel with the team to Saudi Arabia, where the Spanish Super Cup will be held next week. The semi-final will be played on Wednesday and the possible final on Sunday.
Because of the public holidays, Barcelona could submit their case to CSD only on Tuesday, so Olmo and Victor’s journey begins in complete uncertainty.
Olmo played an important role in Barcelona in the autumn season and scored six goals in the 16 matches he played. Pau Victor was mainly in the substitute role and scored twice.
