FC Barcelona has taken an important step in its fight to register Dani Olmo and Pau Víctor in LaLiga. After weeks of uncertainty and rejections from both the League and the Royal Spanish Football Federation (RFEF), an unexpected turn has restored hope to the blaugrana team.
A Report That Changes Everything
The RFEF has issued a favorable report to Barça, recognizing that the regulations applied to deny the re-registrations of both players might be outdated. According to RAC1 sources, this document becomes a crucial argument that Barça will present to the Higher Sports Council (CSD).
The club seeks to obtain a very urgent precautionary measure, an exceptional legal tool that could allow the immediate re-registration of Olmo and Pau Víctor. This move is key not only for sports plans but also for the club's institutional image and economic stability.
The Importance of Dani Olmo and Pau Víctor
Dani Olmo is Barça's most expensive transfer in recent years, a key player for Hansi Flick's project. His versatility in midfield and his ability to disrupt in attack make him an essential piece. Losing him due to an administrative issue would be a devastating blow for the club.
Meanwhile, Pau Víctor, although less media-focused, represents a young talent with great potential. His incorporation into the first team was seen as a future bet, but legal obstacles have complicated his debut.
The Role of the CSD
Next Tuesday, Barça will present its case to the CSD, seeking the green light to allow the re-registration of both players. If the very urgent precautionary measure is granted, the process could be solved in three or four days. Which would give Olmo and Pau Víctor the chance to play in the Spanish Super Cup final if Barça surpasses Athletic Club in the semifinals.
However, if the CSD opts for the precautionary measure instead of the very urgent one, the process could extend up to 15 days. Complicating the situation even further.
The outcome of this case has implications that go beyond the sports aspect. For Joan Laporta and his board, resolving this situation is crucial to protect the club's reputation and avoid significant economic damage.
Losing Dani Olmo wouldn't only represent a sports loss but also a financial blow for Barça. The club would be forced to assume his full salary and pending payments to RB Leipzig, while the player could leave for free.
Trip to Saudi Arabia with Hope
Despite the uncertainty, both Olmo and Pau have traveled with the team to Saudi Arabia for the Spanish Super Cup. Although it's unlikely they can participate in the semifinal, the club hopes a resolution will allow them to be available for the final.
The very urgent precautionary measure represents a last chance for Barça. In the best-case scenario, the measure will allow the players to be registered before the weekend. In the worst, the resolution could arrive too late for this competition, leaving Barça with a gap in its team at a critical moment.
The RFEF report has restored optimism to Barça. Although the legal path is complex, the club trusts that its arguments will be enough to convince the CSD.
The next few hours will be decisive for Barça's immediate future, and a positive resolution could mark a turning point in the season. Dani Olmo and Pau Víctor represent more than just two names on a roster; they are a bet on the present and future of the team.
