The new year could hardly have started worse for FC Barcelona. As mentioned for several weeks, La Liga was in fact able to cancel the registration of Dani Olmo and Pau Victor in the Catalan squad, considering that Barça did not respect the financial conditions to allow the two players to remain eligible.
The Barcelona commercial court recently confirmed La Liga in its decision and the avenues of appeal appear increasingly slim, raising fears of the worst for Barça. And all the more so since according to the regulations of the Spanish Federation, “ footballers whose license is canceled cannot, during the same season, obtain a license in the same team of the club to which they were already linked. »
A particularly heavy bill
Pending official communication from Barcelona leaders, Barça is in shock and the situation could get even worse. A clause in his contract now allows Dani Olmo to leave Barça if his club fails to register him in the league. Such a departure would sound like an industrial disaster for the Blaugrana.
Recruited for some 60 million euros this summer, Dani Olmo is in fact under contract until 2030 but. However, the contract also requires Barça to pay him his full salary until the end of his lease in Catalonia. The bill would therefore be particularly heavy. According to Sport, the shortfall for the Blaugrana would ultimately amount to some 263 million euros.
