Revealed: The 'ruinous nine-figure bill' Barcelona could face for unregistered Dani Olmo

Barcelona could reportedly face a potentially disastrous bill if they are unable to resolve the saga surrounding Dani Olmo. Olmo joined Barcelona from RB Leipzig in the summer in a £47million deal but could only be registered on a temporary arrangement until the end of 2024 owing to LaLiga's ongoing financial constraints on Barcelona.

The Catalan giants had been trying to re-register the attacking midfielder so that he can play for them beyond December 31, while they had also been looking to extend his team-mate Pau Victor's registration. However, LaLiga issued a statement on New Year's Eve, confirming they have turned down Barcelona's proposal to register Olmo and Victor, leaving the star's future uncertain - with the Spanish midfielder able to leave on a free transfer if the situation isn't resolved.

Mail Sport reported last week how Olmo is attracting interesting from several Premier League clubs, with his agent Andy Bara spending time in Manchester amid the ongoing uncertainty in regards to his client. Bara has claimed that the player's intention is to 'stay at Barcelona' and that they are 'not considering any other option'.
