The CSD denies LaLiga: Barça met the deadlines to register Dani Olmo and Pau Víctor

Details are gradually leaking about the resolution of the Superior Sports Council (CSD) in favor of FC Barcelona regarding the registrations of Dani Olmo and Pau Víctor. The body chaired by José Manuel Rodríguez Uribes granted the precautionary measure to the blue and garnet team due to it being a matter of "public interest" that involved two internationals with Spain. In this regard, the newspaper 'Ara' leaked part of the text sent to LaLiga and the Royal Spanish Football Federation (RFEF).

According to the CSD, after reviewing the appeal submitted by Barça, it was confirmed that: "The club provided the documentation proving compliance with the economic control regulations to achieve the mentioned budgetary balance by December 31, 2024 and LaLiga communicated to the club the agreement of the budget validation body on January 3, 2025".

In this sense, the Council adds: "Whether the documentation was sent within the term or not and whether it should lead to the extension of the licenses will be analyzed at the time the substance of the matter is addressed". For now, the governing body insists that, although Barça sent part of the documents before the established deadline (23:59 on December 31), the certification of having received the corresponding money for 40% of the box sales was missing, which the Catalans submitted on January 3.

Barça is confident in a favorable final ruling from the CSD, despite LaLiga's pressure

Barça closed the operation for 100 million euros with two investors from the Middle East (Qatar and Dubai) and claims that the cancellation of the players' licenses and their consequent deregistration from LaLiga was related to a "regulatory provision" from the governing body. This point, along with the "right to work" and the risk of not being able to play with the National Team led the CSD to approve the precautionary measure in favor of the blue and garnet team.

Dani Olmo and Pau Víctor are eligible to play in the Supercopa de España and the rest of the official competitions with Barcelona, so there is no risk of accusations for improper alignment against the Catalans. The Council will have until the first week of April (7) to issue its final ruling. Meanwhile, LaLiga will present the necessary appeals to reverse the precautionary measure, with the support of several teams from the First and Second Divisions.
