LaLiga president Javier Tebas has reiterated that he remains against the registration of Dani Olmo and that he is still working to overturn Barcelona's appeal. Spain international Olmo joined Barcelona for £50million from RB Leipzig in August but the Catalan giants faced a battle to re-register the player for the remainder of the season.

Olmo was initially only registered until the end of December because of the competition's wage-cap restrictions - with the added jeopardy that the 26-year-old would be able to leave for free if unregistered. Barcelona appealed against La Liga's registration restrictions and, earlier this month, the Higher Sports Council ruled that they could temporarily register both Olmo, a target for several Premier League sides, and Pau Victor.

Now, the ruling body has up to three months to study the case before making a final opinion. Olmo and Victor can play as normal in the meantime. And LaLiga chief Tebas insists that his organisation will continue to fight against the ruling. Dani Olmo is free to play for the time being following a Higher Sports Council decision.

LaLiga chief Javier Tebas insists that his organisation will continue to fight against the ruling. Olmo's re-registration was denied due to LaLiga's ongoing financial constraints on Barcelona. 'We are against his registration. We are putting resources towards this,' he told Marca.
