Removed from the FC Barcelona list by La Liga, Dani Olmo was present at training this Wednesday despite the situation surrounding him. The attacking midfielder struggled to hide his concern according to the Spanish press.
The situation is getting complicated for Dani Olmo and FC Barcelona. This Wednesday, La Liga removed the Spanish international from the list of players eligible to play in the league. According to the authority, the Catalan club does not meet the financial conditions for the attacking midfielder to continue to participate in the competition.
A departure in January?
As reports that Dani Olmo arrived at the training center looking dejected on Wednesday. The 26-year-old would have had difficulty hiding his concern about the situation. The former RB Leipzig, recruited for 55 million euros last summer, would like to stay but a clause in his contract allows him to leave if the matter remains there. The locker room would also be very disappointed as striker Pau Victor was also deregistered by La Liga.
Barça coach Hansi Flick had a private conversation with Dani Olmo before today's training. The Catalans will return to competition this Saturday with a trip to the Copa del Rey against Union Deportiva Barbastro. The next La Liga match is set for January 18 in Getafe for the Blaugrana club.
-Debt-ridden Barça signed Olmo until December 31, 2024 with 80% of Andreas Christensen's salary, thanks to an exception that allows clubs to replace players absent for long periods. The Danish defender reappeared on his club's list for La Liga this Wednesday.
