Barcelona Faces Legal Hurdles Over Dani Olmo, Pau Victor Registrations

La Liga has raised significant concerns over FC Barcelona's financial viability to register players Dani Olmo and Pau Victor, asserting that the club has not met financial fair play regulations since December 2024. Despite Barcelona's claims that a €100 million deal for VIP seating rights would allow them to comply, La Liga contends that these funds have not been reflected in the club's financial statements. An auditor appointed by Barcelona confirmed the income from the VIP seating, but subsequent audits have not included it, further complicating the registration. A ruling from the Consejo Superior de Deportes (CSD) is anticipated soon, which could affect the players' eligibility for the remainder of the season. Barcelona secured an injunction allowing Olmo and Victor to remain registered temporarily while their case is reviewed, emphasizing the potential negative impact on their careers and the national team should they be unregistered. The situation remains tense, with La Liga pushing for a ruling against Barcelona based on the updated financial data.
