The RFEF is unsure if Dani Olmo can play for the National Team without being registered. The player may seek an exit to be available for De la Fuente

Calendar of FC Barcelona

The 'case Dani Olmo' is heating up and spreading. The lack of registration of the player from Terrassa could affect not only FC Barcelona but also Spain, as the Royal Spanish Football Federation is unclear whether the player can play for the national team without being registered.

The eligibility rules of FIFA for international players do not condition the participation of players with national teams if they are not registered with any club, but they do require being federated in the respective confederation. This is a factor that has raised uncertainty in the RFEF, which still does not have an answer to this question, as reported by the newspaper 'AS'.

Olmo may seek an exit to play for Spain

This situation keeps Olmo on edge, as if it is confirmed that he cannot play with La Roja in case his registration with Barça cannot be finalized, it is practically a fact that he will seek an exit to be available for Luis de la Fuente for the quarter-finals of the Nations League against the Netherlands.

The player from Terrassa is starting to feel anxious, and much will depend on his position in the National Team. Meanwhile, the RFEF has put the case of the player on the back burner due to the organization of the Supercup, but once Joan Laporta is in Jeddah with Rafael Louzán and Javier Tebas, president and vice president of the Federation, the topic will return to the table in search of a resolution to the winter market 'soap opera'.
