Barcelona Denied Registration for Dani Olmo

Barcelona's attempts to register midfielders Dani Olmo and Pau Victor for the second half of the season have been denied by La Liga and the Spanish Football Federation due to the club's ongoing financial issues. Both players were initially registered temporarily until December 31, but with their registrations now canceled, they can leave without a fee. The decision has left Olmo, a prominent figure after his summer transfer from RB Leipzig for £50m, and Victor in a precarious situation, as Barcelona seeks to appeal the ruling. The Spanish FA cited league rules that prohibit re-registering players whose licenses have been canceled within the same season. Despite improving their financial standing, including selling VIP boxes to raise funds, Barcelona faces significant hurdles in compliance with financial fair play regulations. The club is preparing to escalate the issue to Spain's national sports council in hopes of re-adding the players to their roster.
