In a significant turn of events, La Liga and the Royal Spanish Football Federation (RFEF) have denied FC Barcelona’s request to register new signing Dani Olmo. The situation arose as Barcelona sought to ease their financial constraints and find a solution to register Olmo, who was signed from RB Leipzig for a fee of €30 million. The club’s president, Joan Laporta, stated during a press conference, ‘We are working hard to fulfill our commitments and we believe that Dani’s registration is crucial for the campaign ahead.’ The rejection comes amidst ongoing scrutiny over Barcelona’s financial dealings, including their recent struggles to remain compliant with La Liga’s salary cap. Sources close to the negotiations highlight that the club submitted a formal appeal to the RFEF, but it was ultimately dismissed as insufficient due to failure to demonstrate necessary financial rectifications. Olmo, who has been instrumental for Spain, expressed disappointment but remains hopeful for a resolution. ‘I believe in the team’s potential and hope to be part of it soon,’ Olmo stated. As Barcelona prepares for the upcoming season, the uncertainty around their squad depth continues to loom large. With La Liga launching in just weeks, the pressure is mounting for Laporta and his administration to find a solution.
