Barcelona have finally received a green light to register Dani Olmo for the upcoming season following a controversial injunction. Spain international Olmo joined the Blaugrana for £50million from RB Leipzig in the summer, but the Catalan giants faced a battle to re-register the player for the remainder of the season.

LaLiga is governed by stringent financial laws that have seen Barcelona in particular struggle to register players without compromise in recent seasons as they continue to battle financial crisis. As such, Barca were prevented from extending the registration for Olmo and team-mate Pau Victor as they had exceeded their allotted salary cap, with the added jeopardy of Olmo being able to leave for free if unregistered.

Now, though, Barcelona have been granted a precautionary measure by the Higher Sports Council (CSD) which has allowed them to temporarily register both Olmo, a target for several Premier League sides, and Pau Victor. 'Good news for FC Barcelona. Dani Olmo and Pau Victor have been registered for La Liga, and are therefore available for selection by coach Hansi Flick, including for Sunday's Spanish Super Cup Final at 8pm CET,' a statement from Barcelona read.

Barcelona can register Dani Olmo for the time being following a Higher Sports Council decision. Olmo's re-registration was denied due to LaLiga's ongoing financial constraints on Barcelona. Barcelona have worked tirelessly to secure Olmo's registration and have a brief respite.
