The Barça locker room shocked by the management of the Dani Olmo case

It’s not just Barça supporters who remain speechless in the face of the handling of the Dani Olmo case. While Joan Laporta had promised the registration of the Spanish international for the second part of the season by using all means in the world, the snub fell on the night of Tuesday to Wednesday. Via a press release, La Liga announced that the Spanish international (and incidentally Pau Victor) could not be registered for the second part of the season by Barça.

At the same time, we learned in the Catalan press that the club had until January 3 to complete the registration of its player. An announcement effect, more than anything else, since no one was really able to know if La Liga would authorize the delayed registration of the two players. Moreover, if Barça hoped to see the Spanish Federation rally to its cause, the latter rather lined up behind the decision of La Liga… Which does not really inspire optimism, even if internally, the leaders Catalans want to believe in the financial solution linked to the sale of VIP tickets for the future Spotify Camp Nou.

Barça locker room demands explanations from Laporta

But whether this deal succeeds, or whether Barça can even benefit from the new licenses requested from the RFEF (the Spanish Football Federation) for its two players, Joan Laporta will have to explain. As the daily newspaper mentions AS this Thursday, the pill was difficult to swallow in the Catalan locker room, after the president of Barça had promised wonders to Olmo, appreciated by all.

The group would have received the latest information in this file with perplexity and disbelief, and would now be waiting for their boss to speak. If the idea of ​​Olmo leaving Barça freely this winter has surfaced in the Spanish press, the 26-year-old midfielder has no intention of doing so according to Catalan media. But the next few days, or even the next few hours, should help us to better understand what turn this series will take, which is decidedly prolonged.
