It would be fantastic, but we will see what happens. It is something that we cannot control, neither the player, nor the team, nor the coach, honestly, it is a difficult circumstance”the Blaugrana coach first assured.
“Dani Olmo is not happy”
According to Relevothe Blaugranas have until this Tuesday to register the player in La Liga in order to be able to use him that same evening against the Franjirrojos. And according to the Spanish media, the Catalan finances still do not allow Dani Olmo to be registered.

We will really make sure that Dani registers.”explained the German coach, who has long been questioned about the situation of the 26-year-old player, assuring that he is no longer waiting for new players due to the difficult situation of the club.
