Barcelona has returned to being within its salary limit for the first time since before the pandemic, after proving the sale of VIP seats for the next 20 years at the Camp Nou for around 110 million euros. According to a report, they also have a verbal agreement to register Dani Olmo and Pau Víctor.
However, conflicting information is reported. One matter that all reports seem to agree on is that Barcelona sent an informational email shortly before 23:00 CEST on Friday night updating both La Liga and the Royal Spanish Football Federation (RFEF). about your financial situation. The League has credited the first €60 million portion of that sale and the club is now back within its salary limit, according to multiple reports.

Where the issue is less clear is in the inscriptions of Olmo and Víctor, which was ultimately the goal of the agreement. Marca reports that despite that note, there have been no changes to the registration situation, while Sport states that La Liga has asked RFEF lawyers to examine the case.
All sources agree that the RFEF has not received any request from LaLiga to register Olmo and Víctor, but RAC1 reports that Barcelona have received verbal confirmation from LaLiga that they will have both players registered. They say Barcelona is waiting for La Liga to do so, and could see movement on Saturday, when Barcelona officials leave the club offices shortly after midnight. Half an hour later, MD presented a report expressly denying any verbal agreement between LaLiga and Barcelona regarding registrations.
At 9:19 p.m. this afternoon, #FCBarcelona President Joan Laporta shared (and then deleted) the following message on his WhatsApp status.

His information is that President Joan Laporta could appear before the media this Sunday or Tuesday in Saudi Arabia on the occasion of the Spanish Super Cup to explain the situation. Without progress in registrations, as they say, Barcelona intends to take the case to the courts next week or to the Ministry of Sports.
The large number of reports circulating late Friday night seem to do nothing more than blur the reality of the situation, where certainty seems to focus only on the salary cap situation. Either way, the case appears far from over. If Barcelona manages to register Olmo and Víctor, La Liga is likely to face a significant backlash from the other clubs. Barcelona are working on possible solutions if that is not the case, but Laporta will face his own reaction at the club if that is the case.
