Key hours
Barça have less than half a day to register Dani Olmo
The situation is beginning to reach its limit and the club must hurry if it does not want to lose its star signing
Dani Olmo's registration is now entering a very dangerous phase. His registration in LaLiga expires today, December 31, at 11:59 p.m. In addition, the federation regulations prevent a footballer from being registered twice in one season by the same team. Thus, the Catalan could not play in LaLiga with the Barcelona team again. The problem is not only this, but that the player's contract would automatically expire, with compensation in between, and he would be free to sign for any other club.
Joan Laporta recently traveled in search of buyers for the VIP boxes at the Spotify Camp Nou for an amount of around 120 million euros. With this amount of money, it would be enough to register the ex-Leipzig player, as well as Pau Víctor, whose federation registration ends on the day of the farewell in 2024. Likewise, the route of the personal guarantee of a member of the Board of Directors is also a possibility to get things out of the fire. However, so far, neither of the two options has been implemented.
According to Mundo Deportivo, Olmo is stressed by the situation and, although he travelled to the United States to get away from it, nothing has changed on his return. The attacking midfielder has not received clear explanations from the club either, only the calm transmitted on December 20. That is why, according to the aforementioned source, the player has called Deco, Alejandro Echevarría and Hansi Flick directly, who assured him that everything would be resolved, one way or another. However, it is logical that Dani feels this way, after the efforts he made to get to Barça.
Thus, at midday, the situation is very difficult. Barça must resolve this case no matter what. First, out of respect for the player himself and the Barça fans. Second, for the credibility of this Board of Directors and the club itself. If the Blaugrana team does not get a favourable solution in this case, it will be very difficult to get other players to want to sign. Key hours, when you have to act quickly.
