Dani Olmo's signing: Joan Laporta's Trojan horse?

The summer transfer market was a very turbulent one for FC Barcelona. Many players, with very different profiles, were linked to the club, given the desperate desire of the technical secretariat to cover the needs of the squad in a complex economic situation. In the end, only Pau Víctor and Dani Olmo ended up arriving, but their registrations could only be made until December 31, taking advantage of a long-term injury to Christensen. Now, faced with the possibility that they will not be registered and will not be able to wear the Blaugrana shirt again this season, the fans are divided.

The attacking midfielder from Terrassa, who arrived this summer from RB Leipzig for a fee close to 50 million euros, could become Joan Laporta's Trojan horse. Not because of the attacker, who has made several efforts because of his desire to return to being a Barça player, but because the excitement that his arrival produced could cost the president his job. The opposition has joined together to demand the departure of the entire Board of Directors for various reasons. Added to the discontent they have already shown with other actions, the cases of Heurtel, Pau Víctor and Dani Olmo have provoked a very harsh statement.

This scene has led to the division of Barcelona fans into two very different camps: those who are in favour of the president and those who are against him. This is a critical situation, which could end up exploding if the possibility is confirmed that the two players whose registration is in limbo are not finally registered with LaLiga. Several groups have been showing their anger for some time now about the actions carried out, which is logical, as there have always been detractors. However, such a critical point had not been reached during this mandate.

The context is critical and the Board of Directors has two major fronts open. On the one hand, the most demanding in the short term, is to obtain authorisation for the registration of Pau Víctor and Dani Olmo. They must then respond to the request for "immediate resignation" or, if the statement is followed, they will face a motion of censure. Time is running out, tempers are running high and Joan Laporta's position is up in the air.
