Barcelona will discover the fate of their appeal to register Dani Olmo and Pau Victor on Friday, according to reports. Olmo was a £50million signing from Red Bull Leipzig in the summer but could only be registered on a temporary arrangement until the end of the calendar year owing to LaLiga's ongoing financial constraints on Barcelona.
It means Olmo can leave as a free agent if Spain's football federation continue to block his registration for the second part of the season as they push for the Catalan giants to make more cuts, find more revenue and comply with their financial guidelines.
Barcelona instigated legal proceedings against LaLiga and were initially hopeful of reaching a resolution before next week. Now, according to Spanish outlet Sport, the Catalan giants will discover the judges' verdict on whether to accept the precautionary measure requested by the club to be able to register Olmo and Victor on Friday afternoon.
The outlet further claim that during a meeting on Monday, a contract for the sale of VIP seats was put on the table. Barcelona will discover the fate of their appeal to register Dani Olmo and Pau Victor on Friday. Both Olmo and Victor could leave the club for free in January amid their financial issues.
The LaLiga giants hope that, in principle, the package was going to be sold for about £166miliion (€200m) - in a desperate bid to raise funds and register Olmo and Victor. Mail Sport revealed on Boxing Day that, with time ticking, the situation has alerted leading Premier League clubs such as Manchester City, United and Arsenal, who have taken a keen interest in whether a player so instrumental in Spain's Euro 2024 triumph could be available for nothing next month.
