Will there be a 'soap opera' surrounding Dani Olmo's registration? At the moment, everything seems to point in that direction. It is worth remembering that, due to financial fair play issues, the player from Terrassa could only be registered last summer thanks to Barcelona leveraging Article 77 of the Club Budgeting Rules, taking advantage of the long-term injury (over four months) of Andreas Christensen. Based on what was mentioned in the previously mentioned legal provision, the Catalan team was able to use up to 80% of the Danish player's salary space to register the player from Barcelona.
However, Dani Olmo's registration had a special handicap, why? It would only be valid until December 31st. A situation that seems to be on the way to being resolved, with rumors even suggesting that Barcelona has a 'lever' ready to have the economic muscle necessary to comply with the 1/1 rule to complete the effective registration of a player whose contract with the institution extends until June 30, 2030.
Dani Olmo could become a free agent in January if Barcelona fails to register him soon
A recent piece of information has added a touch of complexity to Dani Olmo's registration. According to reports in 'MD', the player from Terrassa would become automatically free and could join another team if Barcelona fails to re-register him in the winter transfer market or in any transfer window until his contract with the institution ends.
It is also asserted by 'MD' that in the contract between Barcelona and the player from Barcelona, signed last August, this clause was included. Partly because at the time of Dani Olmo's registration, the player agreed, given the economic difficulties of the Catalan club, to be registered only for half a season, despite it being customary for players to sign for the entirety of their contract.
Now we will have to see how Dani Olmo's registration is resolved. At this point, the Blaugrana's number '20', who currently has six goals in 12 matches and has shown his influence as an attacking midfielder in Hansi Flick's tactical system, seems to trust the club's word and its promise to complete his registration as soon as possible. In fact, neither the player from Terrassa nor Barcelona are considering the possibility of the player becoming a free agent in January.
