Barcelona Coach Frustrated Over Player Registrations

Barcelona's coach Hansi Flick expressed frustration over the club's inability to register players Dani Olmo and Pau Víctor due to salary cap restrictions imposed by LaLiga, which has left both players unable to participate in matches. Despite the challenges, Flick conveyed a sense of optimism and confidence in the club's efforts to resolve the situation, especially following a substantial payment received from the sale of VIP seats at the renovated Camp Nou, which could potentially increase their salary cap. The club has appealed to the Spanish FA for player licenses but faced two rejections, leaving them in a precarious position. Ahead of their Copa del Rey match against fourth-tier Barbastro, Flick emphasized the need for focus and preparation, stating that the team's training sessions have gone well. He remains hopeful for a positive outcome regarding player registrations despite the current obstacles. Olmo, who returned to Barcelona from RB Leipzig, has expressed his desire to remain with the club, while his agent has dismissed speculation of a potential departure.
