Dani Olmo’s potential return to Barcelona depends on the league approving his registration before the deadline at midnight on December 31. This crucial deadline will cause excitement at the league headquarters and within the Catalan club. If the registration does not go through by the end of the year, it could lead to unprecedented embarrassment for the Barcelona organization.
La Liga sources have confirmed that if the Financial Fair Play situation remains unresolved as of 11:59 p.m. on December 31, Olmo would not be eligible to be registered with Barcelona for the current season. This means that if the league does not sanction the sale of VIP boxes at Camp Nou before the deadline, the player will not participate in La Liga this season. He would then become a free agent and would not be able to play in league matches until the next campaign, although he could update his registration with his federation to participate in other competitions.
In this scenario, Dani Olmo would become a free agent starting January 1 and could sign with any club if he wants. He could also stay at Barcelona, collecting his salary without playing in La Liga, but being eligible to participate in other tournaments such as the Spanish Super Cup, Copa del Rey or Champions League.

According to Article 141, point 5 of the La Liga regulations, “players whose licenses are canceled cannot, during the same season, obtain a license with the same club with which they were previously associated.” This implies that Dani Olmo and Pau Víctor will not return to play for the Blaugrana in La Liga if the club do not resolve their financial problems by 11:59 p.m. on December 31.
“If it was easy, it would have been done already,” a La Liga source told OKDIARIO about the likelihood of the league granting Dani Olmo’s registration before the deadline. The day proves difficult, and a growing feeling fears that the hours to come will be frenetic. It would be a historic moment if this situation remained unresolved heading into the new year.
