Barcelona Faces Legal Threats Over Olmo Registration

Barcelona is facing significant challenges in registering Dani Olmo due to La Liga's financial regulations, which have prevented his registration beyond December 31, 2024. The club attempted to secure a €120m deal by selling Camp Nou's VIP seats to resolve this, but La Liga rejected their proposal, leading to the removal of Olmo and Pau Victor from the registered players list. Several La Liga clubs, including Sevilla and Atletico Madrid, have threatened legal action if Barcelona receives an exception, arguing against preferential treatment. The uncertainty around Olmo's registration has led to rumors of a potential exit, with Premier League clubs showing interest; however, Olmo and his agent have expressed a desire to remain at Barcelona. The situation has also affected Olmo's eligibility for national team selection and could impact the club's reputation and financial status. Barcelona remains optimistic about resolving the issue by early January 2025, but tensions with other La Liga clubs and regulatory bodies persist.
