Dani Olmo and Pau Victor were not registered on time. “FC Barcelona has not presented any alternative which, in accordance with the economic control regulations of LaLiga, allows it to register any player from January 2”published La Liga on the evening of December 31, removing the two players from the Barça squad from its official website.
A complex situation, and Barça, which has appealed to the Federation, hopes that the latter will give it a little more time, with January 3 as the new deadline to present all the documents. But, according to the Spanish media at least, the Federation should side with La Liga. If this were to be confirmed, Dani Olmo has, if he wishes, the possibility of leaving Barça for free while receiving the full salary that the club was to pay him until 2030.
An even more difficult situation
And Pau Victor then? Often forgotten in these articles and discussions around this issue which fascinates the crowds in Spain, the striker recruited from Girona last summer after a big season on loan at Barça B has a slightly different contractual situation. Under contract until 2029, he has no clause to terminate his contract in the event that this non-registration is confirmed.
Worse still, it could not even be loaned as indicated Mundo Deportivosince to be able to be loaned, you must first be registered. He would therefore be condemned to leave – sold permanently – or to stay in Barcelona without playing. He could not even participate in other competitions such as the Copa del Rey or the Champions League, since the license to participate in its competitions, although organized by the Federation and UEFA, is distributed by La Liga. Two options which do not please the player, who wishes to stay in Catalonia. The player wants to be confident as indicated by the Spanish press, and expects a positive outcome. But can we really trust Joan Laporta after all these recent events? We hope, for Pau Victor, that yes…
