In order to finally be able to definitively register Dani Olmo's contract, FC Barcelona decided to find the money it was missing in a rather original way. And Qatar is in the mix.
Time was starting to run out for Barça leaders since they learned that Dani Olmo's contract could not be legally registered with La Liga due to lack of money to ensure the player's remuneration. If the player who arrived from Leipzig last summer took advantage of an exemption to be able to play until December 31, the Catalan club no longer had a choice this time and had to find a solution or else Olmo would have been free to sign where he wanted it from January 1st.
But Barcelona's imagination once again made it possible to avoid this catastrophe, and for this Joan Laporta reached an agreement with Qatar. In exchange for the right to operate VIP seats located behind the Camp Nou sidelines for 20 years, when it is reopened, a Doha company has agreed to pay a sum of between 100 and 120 million euros, specifies the Spanish sports press.

This agreement will allow FC Barcelona to have the necessary funds to allow La Liga to register the contract of Dani Olmo, who will not be too much in Hansi Flick's squad at a time when Barça is going through a big hole in La Liga (1 point taken in the last three matches). This is not the first time that the leaders of the Blaugrana have snatched very specific contracts to overcome financial problems, in particular the sale of part of their TV rights. But all this reassures the body of professional Spanish football, whose president has often been fierce with Qatar, especially when he finances PSG.
