the rant of a presidential candidate on the Olmo file

Barça begins the year 2025 with a complicated story. The Catalan team had until midnight on December 31 to prove to La Liga that it had the means to register Dani Olmo for the second half of the season, the Spanish midfielder having taken advantage of Andreas Christensen's injury this summer to be registered. At the moment, the club still maintains that it is close to finding a cost-effective solution, and that this should be resolved within the next 48 hours. But whatever happens, the image of the Blaugrana will have been damaged, and the state of finances still remains worrying.

“The deplorable image of the best club in the world”

And inevitably, it gets people talking. Victor Font, former candidate for the presidency of Barça for 2026, did not hesitate to tackle Joan Laporta in a message posted on social networks: “Due to the seriousness of the events linked to the registration of Dani Olmo and Pau Víctor , as well as the deplorable image of the best club in the world, we share the concern of all Barça supporters regarding the sporting, economic and institutional consequences of this affair. The result could be loss. of a player that we signed only four months ago for 55 million euros, and who we now see at risk of leaving because of management full of improvisations and a blatant lack of professionalism” , he said, before continuing: “We hope that the situation of the two players can be resolved, but it is unacceptable that the president of Barça acts like this and gives such a negative image. This is why we demand that the management and Joan Laporta immediately provide all the necessary explanations to clarify their actions and the consequences to come: why did we sign such a valuable player knowing that we were exceeding Financial Fair Play without having a plan to resolve this situation? Why do we go to court knowing that the case had no chance of success, as the judges confirmed? What measures is the club taking to avoid the loss of Olmo and Pau Víctor?” Quite an atmosphere.
