Things are absolutely not going well for La Liga giants FC Barcelona. The Catalan giants are now facing a major crisis after the Spanish Football Federation and La Liga rejected the appeals of registration of Dani Olmo. The player had his La Liga registration done till 31st January owing to Barcelona’s financial troubles.
Due to the wage cap restrictions both summer signings of Dani Olmo and Pau Victor were registered by the club till December. And with the duo bodies denying Barcelona’s appeal, their careers now hang on a balance.

Barcelona to go to court
The La Liga rules are pretty simple. The League cannot allow a player to be re-registered again when his registration has been canceled this season. And now going by the looks of it both the players will have to be sidelined till the summer.
“The monitoring committee agrees not to grant the prior approval or the definitive licence requested by FC Barcelona for the players Daniel Olmo Carvajal and Pau Victor Delgado. Following the fulfilment of LaLiga’s FFP requirements by Barcelona on Jan. 3, with the club having completed the relevant documentation, LaLiga has decided to extend their spending cap from the aforementioned date.” read Spanish FA and La Liga’s statement.
“However, the commission agrees not to grant the licenses requested for the players [Olmo and Víctor] in accordance with the interpretation of articles 130.2 and 141.5 of the RFEF’s general regulations that prevent a player whose license is cancelled from, during the course of the same season, obtaining a license at the same club to which they were already linked,” the statement added.
The league gave the club till December 31st to prove that they were within the wag cap regulations. However, the Catalan giants failed to prove their financial stability, and thus both the players have been de-registered. The club, however, hasn’t taken the setback well.
Barcelona is extremely displeased with the outcome and is set to challenge the decision in court. Barcelona will be taking this matter to the Spanish Supreme Court, Consejo Superior de Deportes.
“Barcelona expresses their disagreement with today’s decision and will proceed to file the appropriate appeal before the CSD. Regarding the matter of the registrations, the club will not comment again until the matter is resolved by the CSD,” Barcelona said in a statement.
