La Liga has officially removed Dani Olmo and Pau Victor from their website as players registered for Barcelona. The Blaugrana had until midnight on January 31 to ensure they stayed there, but didn't.
Barring a twist, Olmo and Victor will be unable to play for the rest of the season as La Liga regulations state that players cannot be registered for the same club twice in the same season. Originally, they were both registered under an emergency injury rule using the salary of Andreas Christensen, who was ruled out for the first half of the season due to an Achilles tendon problem.
The Denmark international has now also returned to the La Liga website. Barcelona's job was to increase their salary cap enough between September and December to be able to register Olmo and Victor without the emergency injury rule, but La Liga released a statement declaring that they have not presented any operation that would allow them to register new players . players. Barcelona, in turn, say they have applied for licenses for both players, but as things stand, neither will be able to play for the rest of the season.
Victor looks likely to be loaned out, but Olmo will now have to make a decision. Agent Andy Bara has stated that Olmo will remain at Barcelona, but he has a clause in his contract that allows him to leave for free with the full €48 million owed to him from the six-year contract if he is not registered.
