It has been confirmed that Barcelona have been granted a precautionary measure, allowing Dani Olmo and Pau Victor to be registered with immediate effect (although both players missed the Spanish Super Cup semi-final against Athletic Club). Yet there is a lot of relief within the Catalan club about the decision of the Higher Sports Council (CSD), and Joan Laporta has clearly shown this.
Laporta is in Saudi Arabia for Barcelona's Super Cup adventure and was captured by E3 delightfully celebrating the news that Olmo and Victor would be registered.
Laporta, and Barcelona as a whole, have remained confident in this matter, despite La Liga and the Spanish Football Federation rejecting multiple registration requests from Olmo and Victor. However, it is only a short-term win as it is not absolutely guaranteed that either player will be available for the rest of the season.
