Barcelona Resolves Dani Olmo Saga Before Super Cup
Barcelona decides to include Dani Olmo in the squad traveling to Jeddah for the Super Cup, despite ongoing uncertainty surrounding his eligibility.
Barcelona has made a crucial decision regarding Dani Olmo, confirming that the Spanish midfielder will travel with the squad to Jeddah for the upcoming Spanish Super Cup. This decision comes amid ongoing legal and administrative uncertainty, as the Spanish Sports Council (CSD) is yet to issue a final ruling on his eligibility.
Unresolved Eligibility Issues
Despite the lack of a definitive verdict from the CSD, Barcelona’s management, led by Joan Laporta, has opted to prepare Olmo for potential involvement in the tournament. The club, however, has maintained a strict silence on the matter, with no public statements from key figures, including Laporta, regarding Olmo’s status. The situation has left fans and analysts speculating about the player’s availability.
Recent Challenges
Olmo’s eligibility issues have already impacted his participation in competitive matches. He and fellow player Pau Victor were unable to feature in Barcelona’s recent 4-0 victory over Barbastro in the Copa del Rey. While the absence had no immediate sporting consequences, it highlighted the administrative hurdles Barcelona faces.
Laporta’s Private Meetings
Over the weekend, Laporta personally met with Olmo and Victor at Barcelona’s training complex, offering reassurance and attempting to keep morale high. Reports indicate that Laporta also traveled to Barbastro to support the team during their cup match, further underlining the importance of managing this delicate situation.
Travel Plans to Jeddah
With the Super Cup semifinal looming, all eyes are on whether Olmo and Victor will board the flight to Jeddah alongside the rest of the squad. Early indications suggest that Olmo’s inclusion is part of Barcelona’s strategy to minimize the disruption caused by the ongoing legal uncertainty.
Looking Ahead
As Barcelona prepares for their Super Cup clash, the focus remains on securing results amidst off-field distractions. For Olmo, the trip to Jeddah represents an opportunity to contribute to the team’s success despite the challenges surrounding his eligibility. Fans and analysts alike await further developments as the CSD’s decision looms large over Barcelona’s season.
