Barcelona has been informed that their attempt to re-register Dani Olmo for the second-half of the season has been rejected. The Commercial Court 10 of Barcelona made the decision public, announcing that they would not be allowing the Blaugrana to register the midfielder.
In response, Barcelona are expected to present a new lawsuit against La Liga in a last-ditch attempt to have their summer signing available for the second-half of the season according to Mundo Deportivo. It is expected that they will present the argument they will put forward is that the registration rules are invalid because they are regulated by a body that they consider incompetent.
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.
