Barcelona struggles to secure Dani Olmo’s registration due to strict La Liga financial regulations.
Barcelona’s €50m summer signing, Dani Olmo, has spoken out amid the growing uncertainty surrounding his registration status. Despite the chaos, the Spanish international insists, “everything’s fine,” maintaining a calm demeanor as the club scrambles to resolve the financial hurdles.
Barcelona’s Financial Battle Over
La Liga’s stringent financial regulations have placed Barcelona in a precarious position, preventing them from registering Olmo for the second half of the season. The Blaugrana’s efforts to secure funds through a €120m deal, selling the Camp Nou VIP box rights for 20 years, fell short of La Liga’s 31 December deadline. Appeals for an extension were rejected twice, forcing Olmo’s removal from La Liga’s official website.

The 2024 UEFA Euro winner’s agent echoed his client’s desire to stay at Barcelona. In a heartfelt New Year’s social media post, Olmo signed off with two heart emojis in the club’s iconic blue and red colors, further solidifying his loyalty.
