“Yes, we will surely be able to register it, we already have everything, don’t worry. These are internal problems, don’t worry, we will resolve them, the player is calm”said Deco, the sporting director of Barça 15 days ago. Calm is probably no longer the emotion required on this Friday, December 27. Because Barça sees one of its cards being completely rejected.
Indeed, the Catalan club had referred the matter to the Commercial Court in the Dani Olmo case, considering that the LaLiga Delegated Commission was incompetent. The aim was therefore to invalidate the decision to only grant a license to Dani Olmo until December 31, which was nevertheless an exceptional favor granted to the Blaugrana club. But since the leaders failed to generate sufficient new revenue to get back on track, they tried it at the judicial level.
Barça believed in this solution
Except that judge Ignacio Fernández de Senespleda, who made the verdict official, decided otherwise, rejecting the request from Barça, which had pleaded its case on Monday. According to Mundo Deportivothe leaders were nevertheless very optimistic, and this outcome would therefore be a real blow in this particularly complex issue. The aim was to reach a solution before December 31, when Dani Olmo will no longer be allowed to play in La Liga. And therefore also in the Champions League since UEFA regulations ensure that a player must be registered in the league where his club plays to participate in the European competition.
Barça therefore only has four days left to prevent the Dani Olmo clan from activating a very specific clause. Indeed, knowing the precarious financial situation of the Blaugrana, the player’s representatives had inserted a clause allowing him to leave the club without transfer compensation if he did not have a La Liga license by January 2025. Barça must therefore find financing solutions urgently, otherwise his attacking midfielder will be free in January. And Dani Olmo’s love for his favorite club will not be enough to keep him there indefinitely.
