Despite reports late on Tuesday night that Barcelona would be granted an order to keep Dani Olmo and Pau Victor registered, the Spanish government has denied this is the case. The future of both players is at stake as La Liga and the RFEF have deregistered them, allowing Olmo and Victor to leave for free if they wish.
It was reported that Barcelona would be granted a temporary injunction against the deregistration, which would allow them to plead their case, but crucially would allow both players to play for the club while the matter is resolved, preventing either party from suffering any damage if the case is resolved in their favor. It was reported that the resolution of the ban could come in time for them to play the Spanish Super Cup final on Sunday, if Barcelona find a way past Athletic Club.
However, this is denied by the vice-president of the High Council for Sport (CSD), Pilar Alegria. She has told RNE (via Marca) that the case is still ongoing.
“We study. In fact, I've already seen some news, some information, that considered it closed. And the truth is that at this moment we are still studying the request that came to us through Barcelona.”
While Alegria explained that they would respond as soon as possible, she noted that they would have to ask about La Liga and the RFEF's arguments, and that the case submitted by Barcelona contains 52 pages, all of which must be carefully examined.
