Barcelona are expected to be told they will be able to register Dani Olmo - if only for the time being - after lodging an appeal this week. According to multiple reports in Spain, the club are set to be granted a precautionary measure by the Higher Sports Council (CSD) which will allow them to temporarily register both Olmo, a target for several Premier League sides, and Pau Victor.
As a result, once the decision has been made official, both players will be permitted to play in LaLiga again after facing several weeks of uncertainty. Olmo and Victor have been included in Barcelona's Super Cup squad despite being ineligible to play. According to Mundo Deportivo, the club are optimistic they will receive approval for the registrations this week, and it could arrive shortly.
Last week, Barcelona revealed their plans to file a complaint after both LaLiga and the Spanish Football Federation (RFEF) rejected their latest attempt to re-register the duo, and they subsequently took the matter to court. The latest ruling, which will ease the pressure on president Joan Laporta after another tumultuous period, does not mean that Olmo and Victor will be able to play against Athletic Bilbao in the Super Cup in Riyadh this evening.
Barcelona will be told they can register Dani Olmo, if only for the time being, after their appeal. Olmo, a target for several Premier League clubs, will be able to play again imminently. The decision will ease the pressure on Joan Laporta, the president of the Catalan giants.
