The League and the RFEF deal a serious blow to Dani Olmo’s record

Barcelona’s hopes of signing Dani Olmo for the second half of 2024/25 have been blocked by La Liga.

The Catalan giants missed the initial December 31 deadline to register the Spanish international for the coming months.

That has sparked a frantic few days at the club as they worked to raise funds to meet the financial requirements to complete a deal and avoid further embarrassment.

However, following a previous court rejection over a temporary registration, the only route to a resolution now appears to be through another legal battle.

Multiple reports have confirmed a joint rejection by LaLiga and the RFEF of Olmo’s registration along with his teammate Pau Víctor.

Barcelona still retains the option of taking its case to the Higher Sports Council, but the call seems to be finalized.

The joint key point of LaLiga and the RFEF focuses on ‘preventing a player whose license is canceled from being able to obtain the license in the same team of the club to which he was already linked during the same season’.
