Dani Olmo’s situation has set off alarms at the FC Barcelona headquarters. What is most concerning is that the player is outraged with his situation.
When he negotiated his transfer to Barça last summer, he was assured there would be no problem with his registration. But the reality was quite different. Olmo couldn’t be registered and missed the first two LaLiga matches.
If the club was later able to register him, it was due to the “providential” long-term injury of Andrea Christensen.

Dani Olmo Could Leave Barça for Free
But Dani Olmo’s registration, like Pau Víctor’s, has an expiration date for the Professional Football League. On January 1st, Barça must have solved its financial fair play issues. Otherwise, Dani Olmo will be left without a spot.
If Dani Olmo is left without a spot, he’ll be free to play wherever he pleases at no cost, as stated in the contract he signed with Barça.
Since summer, Joan Laporta has been reassuring everyone by denying the possibility that Dani Olmo couldn’t be registered in January. But the date is approaching, and solutions are not forthcoming.
Neither the Nike contract, nor the sale of VIP seats, nor the advertising on the shorts. Nor Laporta’s trips to Mongolia and Azerbaijan. Nor Ter Stegen’s departure, which has been rejected by La Liga
With just two weeks to the deadline, only a new guarantee from Laporta and his directors can be the solution.
The Decision is in the Hands of a Judge
Barça has clung to a burning nail, “without acrimony,” by taking the case to a judge. This means that Dani Olmo’s future at Barça depends on a judge’s ruling.

It will be on the 27th when the Commercial Court number 10 of Barcelona decides if Barça can register the player provisionally.
The club argues that the player has the right to work. The strategy worked well with Gavi, but this time things might take a different path.
Meanwhile, Olmo, affected, has seen his performance drop after a spectacular start to the season. “His mind is elsewhere,”his close ones say. And he doesn’t rule out the possibility of leaving the club at no cost.
The issue is already directly affecting the stability of the locker room managed by Hansi Flick. Barça could lose the star transfer of this summer. And the matter is on the lips of all the players in the team.
Dani Olmo: Another Figo Case?
Bayern Munich has already shown interest in his situation. At Barça, they suspect that Real Madrid might make a move to take him to Bernabéu. Florentino did it with Figo and could repeat it with Olmo.

It’s surprising that the star transfer of this summer could find himself in this situation. Especially when Joan Laporta insists that Barça’s financial situation is healthy.
It’s also surprising the attitude of four First Division clubs, who are working behind the scenes to ensure Barça is harmed by this situation. And they have pressured La Liga not to yield to Laporta’s maneuvers and not to process Dani Olmo’s registration.
It’s a 60-million problem. Either they appear in the next 15 days, or Dani Olmo will fly away.
