Dani Olmo and Pau Víctor will remain unregistered in LaLiga as FC Barcelona players. Joan Laporta and his board of directors are facing the most important crisis of their mandate. In addition, this Saturday, January 4, the long-awaited news from the Blaugrana club has still not materialized, after long days and nights filled with more hope than evidence. On the contrary, the Supervisory Commission of the LaLiga-RFEF Coordination Agreement, convened on Saturday morning, decided, as expected, to refuse “the definitive license requested by FC Barcelona for Dani Olmo and Pau Víctor”, according to an official press release spouse.
None of the main arguments put forward by the Blaugrana management concerning insufficient time nor an alleged misinterpretation of the article prohibiting the double registration of the same player during the same season was accepted. None of the club’s arguments for its delay in submitting the necessary documentation to return the two players to normal were recognized. December 31 was the deadline, and LaLiga did not approve or supervise them until that day. It is far too late for Olmo and Víctor, but paradoxically it is timely for the reestablishment of the 1:1 rule regarding financial fair play. This ‘success’ was also confirmed in the same press release: “Once FCB has satisfied the economic control requirements of LaLiga on January 3, 2025, and once the club has completed the relevant documentation, the Validation Body of the LaLiga Budget has decided to increase the Cost Limit of the FC Barcelona Sports Team from this date.

FC Barcelona will appeal to the Higher Sports Council regarding the refusal of registration of Olmo and Pau Víctor
-In other words, this long-sought return to normality now allows Barcelona to sign players if they wish, but this is overshadowed by one of the most inexplicable and humiliating chapters in the club’s history.
To save their reputation and avoid a crisis with unforeseeable repercussions today (economic, institutional and social), Barcelona only has two last options: appeal to the TAD, an agency dependent on the High Council of Sport, to request a measure urgently understanding that they feel wronged by the refusal of a license, or turn to ordinary justice.
Joan Laporta, currently in Barbastro, canceled his planned visit to the city hall and the executive lunch he had planned.
