OK from LaLiga! FC Barcelona will be able to register Dani Olmo

Good news for FC Barcelona! Dani Olmo will be able to play in Vallecas this Tuesday, August 27th for the match of the 3rd round of LaLiga against Rayo Vallecano. In the next few hours, the Blaugrana club will receive the authorization from the tournament to register their new signing due to the long-term absence of Andreas Christensen.

This same movement was applied to register Iñigo Martínez, who took advantage of Ronald Araújo's injury to be registered. It is important to remember that Barça generated some fair play with the sale of Mika Faye and the loans of Clément Lenglet and Vitor Roque, but it was not enough to be able to register the player from Terrassa, but he will be able to arrive with the absence of Christensen.

Olmo will play against Rayo Vallecano

Olmo's registration will be a consequence of the medical statement from the Catalan team on Christensen, which detailed that "the time of return to training will be determined by his evolution", which implies that the player's recovery will be long and will allow them to adhere to one of the tools established by LaLiga for these cases. We are talking about Article 77 of the Regulations for the Preparation of Budgets, which establishes that the "Cost Limit in Registrable Sports Squad or the registration capacity may be exceeded in one season" and whose "registration is requested within 30 calendar days from the date of the player's injury... and that as a consequence of it, a disability of equal or greater duration is foreseen from when it occurred".

The strange thing is that the Barça board has not taken this rule into account before, because as happened with Gavi and Araújo, they will now be able to use 80% of the Danish player's cost to register the former RB Leipzig player. However, this registration has several conditions. The first is that "the registration of the substitute player will not be allowed if the duration of his contract covers more than the next season and the club does not have a balance of the Sports Squad Cost Limit or registration capacity for said season."

Added to this, the important thing about the maximum excess "will be prorated in proportion to the duration remaining in the season from the registration of the player who replaces the injured player." In this case, it could be for the entire season, which is exactly what will be done with Dani Olmo. In addition, Barcelona could register the Dane this season, as long as they do not have all 25 first-team squad cards covered. So the Spaniard will have to prepare for his debut on Tuesday, August 27. Without a doubt, this will be a match that no one will want to miss.
