The ongoing Dani Olmo saga continues to dominate Barcelona in 2025.
After weeks of legal wrangling, the case has taken a turn, with Barcelona officiating in the Spanish Super Cup in Saudi Arabia.
Olmo and teammate Pau Victor fell out of contention for the semi-final win over Athletic Club as the battle with La Liga and the RFEF raged on.
However, the club has since been granted a temporary reprieve, with the pair available for the remainder of the season.
That won't be the end of the matter as the decision of the Higher Sports Council (CSD) will be appealed by La Liga, with numerous clubs left frustrated by the exemption.
As part of the debate over Olmo, it was also expected that he would be ineligible for conscription in Spain if a solution was not reached.
This is rumored to have irked Barcelona's La Roja stars with reports of a boycott of the squad for international duty if Olmo is left out in the cold.
However, these reports have been dismissed by midfielder Pedri, who claimed there was no substance to the story.
“I'm not going to say that I wouldn't go for the national team because of Dani Olmo. It's a lie that I hope no one believed,” Marca said.
