Dani Olmo's Future at Barcelona in Jeopardy as Midnight Deadline Looms
Barcelona faces a race against time to finalize Dani Olmo's registration before midnight, amid financial constraints and legal setbacks.
Dani Olmo trained with Barcelona today, uncertain if his contract will be registered by midnight. The club has until 12:00 AM to complete the registration.
During the Christmas break, Barcelona's sports commission, including Joan Laporta, assured Olmo of their commitment to resolving the issue. However, Olmo's representatives remain concerned about the situation.
Despite the club's efforts, including recent legal appeals, they have faced setbacks. The Commercial Court No. 10 of Barcelona and the Barcelona Insurance Court both rejected the club's claims aimed at compelling LaLiga to approve Olmo's registration.
As the deadline approaches, Barcelona has submitted new documentation to LaLiga, indicating potential revenue of €100 million from the sale of VIP boxes at the new Camp Nou. LaLiga had previously indicated that official contracts, rather than preliminary agreements, are necessary for financial validation.
With only hours remaining, the club is under significant pressure to secure Olmo's registration, ensuring his eligibility to continue playing for Barcelona in the upcoming season.
