Barcelona find themselves in a potentially ruinous situation regarding the registrations of Dani Olmo and Pau Víctor, after La Liga confirmed that the Blaugrana had made no provision to register them before the January deadline. As things stand, neither of them will be able to play the rest of the season.
It has been reported that both want to remain at the club, and in Olmo’s case, this was confirmed by his agent. The former RB Leipzig striker even has a clause in his contract that allows him to leave for free if he is not registered, with the 48 million euros of his six-year contract. For Victor, he will accept the club’s wishes, but he has been linked with a move to Real Betis if he is not signed up on loan.

However, it looks like they will be on the sidelines for a while unless Barcelona can find a way to register them. According to MD, neither of them will be able to leave on loan without being discharged either. Players must first register with a team before they can be loaned out, compounding their problems. Furthermore, they will not be available for the Champions League either.
