LaLiga: Barcelona lack finances to register Olmo, Victor

Laliga has said that Barcelona does not have the financial capacity to register Dani Olmo and Pau Victor.

Barcelona received temporary licenses by LaLiga to register both players before the start of the season.

However, their registrations were withdrawn in January, after the club had not proven that they comply with the financial rules of the competition.

After two courts of Barcelona's requests to register Olmo and Victor, they turned to Spain's Sports Council (CSD), who maintained the profession of the club and allowed them to temporarily restore the players.

The three -month period before the provisional measure so that they can play ends on Monday, when a definitive decision is expected to be announced by the Spanish authorities.

In an attempt to relieve their financial battle, the LaLiga leaders also announced a deal at the beginning of January to sell VIP boxes in Camp Nou, which is being renovated, for € 100 million.

However, Laliga says that last week the deal was not registered in the bills that Barcelona submitted to cover the 2024-25 season, and also claims that the Blaugrana cannot be registered closer to registering OLMO and Victor.

“Barcelona did not have on December 31, 2024, or on January 3, 2025, nor had it had since that date, nor has it currently [the financial fair play capacity] For the registration of the players Dani Olmo and Pau Victor, “read a statement from Laliga.

In response, President Joan Laporta of Barcelona said reporters that he was frustrated by the timing of Laliga, which was issued prior to the Copa del Rey Semi-final second stage against Atletico Madrid and claimed that it was “an attempt to damage the club's image”.

“We are playing an important game tonight and LaLiga is communicating this morning. Strange!” he said. “They can't beat us on the field, so they act off.

“Of course the club will respond through its legal services, which analyzes the letter from LaLiga in -depth. We will respond as powerfully as necessary.

“They want to attack our interests. Laliga approved the signing sessions of Pau Victor and Olmo, and now they have changed his mind.

'Why? Did they do a bad job in the first place when they approved the activities?

“Three months ago I said that the registrations of Olmo and Pau Victor were correctly implemented, according to all the requirements required by the RFEF [Spanish Football Federation] And Laliga, and this is still the case. “

Olmo, who arrived from RB Leipzig for € 60 million last August, has made 28 performances for Barcelona in all competitions, scored eight goals and adds five assists, although he is currently out with an adductor injury. Victor has played 22 times this season.
