Arsenal and Man City on red alert after Barcelona suffer Dani Olmo setback
Share:
Barcelona have failed in their latest attempt to register Dani Olmo for the second half of the season. The 26-year-old midfielder joined the Spanish giants from RB Leipzig in August for a reported £51 million. However, Barcelona could only register the Spain international for the initial stage of the campaign because of difficulties meeting LaLiga’s wage restrictions.

And on Saturday, LaLiga and the Spanish football federation (RFEF)) jointly rejected Euro 2024 winner Olmo and forward Pau Victor’s registrations for Barcelona. A statement published by the RFEF read: ‘The Monitoring Committee of the RFEF-LaLiga Coordination Agreement has met to address the request for prior visa and processing of the federation licenses of the players Mr Daniel Olmo Carvajal and Mr Pau Victor Delgado, issued by FC Barcelona.
‘After FCB complied with the requirements in terms of economic control of LaLiga on January 3, 2025, and once the relevant documentation has been completed by the club, the LaLiga Budget Validation Body has decided to extend the Cost Limit of FC Barcelona’s Sports Squad from that date.
‘In this sense, having requested the licenses for the aforementioned players by FC Barcelona and after analysing the applicable regulations, the Monitoring Committee agrees not to grant the prior visa or the definitive license requested by FC Barcelona for the players Mr. Daniel Olmo Carvajal and Mr. Pau Victor Delgado in accordance with the literal interpretation of articles 130.2 and 141.5 of the General Regulations of the RFEF that prevent a player whose licence is cancelled from being able, in the course of the same season, to obtain a licence in the same team of the club to which he was already linked.’.
