Barcelona are given permission to operate normally in the January transfer window by LaLiga as financial headache eases - but Dani Olmo STILL isn't registered

Barcelona will be able to spend money in the January transfer window without restriction, the club have confirmed, but Dani Olmo has still not been registered. LaLiga informed the club that they are no longer subject to strict financial intervention after they received the €28million (£23.2m) missing from one of the two investors for VIP seats at the soon-to-be renovated Camp Nou.
However, Olmo and Pau Victor remain unregistered. Barcelona president Joan Laporta and other senior figures were spotted working at the club's offices into the early hours on Saturday in an attempt to officially add both players to their roster. But with the stand-off continuing, they are said to be prepared to take the matter to court. Various reports have claimed Barcelona are confident they will be able to register Olmo and Victor after finding a creative solution to their off-field headache.
Their attempt to register the duo for the second half of the season was rejected by LaLiga after they failed to prove they had the necessary financial assurances in time. Olmo only joined Barcelona from RB Leipzig in the summer in a £50m deal and was registered on a temporary arrangement until the end of 2024. In recent days, the club pushed to re-register both him and Victor to allow them to play beyond December 31.
Dani Olmo has still not been registered by Barcelona despite spending restrictions being eased. President Joan Laporta worked late into the night on Friday to register Olmo and Pau Victor. Olmo is pictured taking part in a training session on Friday, but his future remains unclear.
