Barcelona could face the second half of the season without star signing Dani Olmo and striker Pau Víctor, after both were unregistered after the January deadline. In theory, those players are free to join other clubs, but Barcelona have reported that they still expect both to be registered and available.
Since a statement on December 31 stating that they had requested licenses from the RFEF, the club has not commented publicly on the matter, leaving coach Hansi Flick in front of the press to answer numerous questions about his handling of the situation. .
“I don’t want to talk too much about it, because it’s not my job. “I can say that I spoke with the president before the holidays, and today too, and I have confidence in the club.”
“I was not happy with the situation and the players are not happy with the situation. That’s how it is, we have to accept it, we are professionals. We have to train, that is our job, the club has to do its job. The confidence is there, I am always positive, but we have to wait for the decision.”
The German coach remained silent about what he had discussed with president Joan Laporta, but admitted that it was not a simple situation for them.
“What I talked about with the president is private, it remains private and it is not for you.”
“I spoke with Dani and Pau, you can imagine that the situation is not easy for them. They want to play for the club, they are both good players, important players, and we will see what the decision is when it is made. “I’m very positive about it, but I know it’s not easy.”
Flick also noted that he would use Olmo and Victor if possible.
The club reports that Joan Laporta will not appear until Dani Olmo and Pau Víctor are registered. They do not consider not registering. As soon as it is known, he will hold a press conference, possibly before the trip to Saudi Arabia. @Alfremartinezz

“They are ready to play, what I saw in training was good, no different than normal. “If they can play, they can play.”
Barcelona will face Barbastro in their first Copa del Rey clash of the season on Saturday night at 19:00 CEST, but their return to action has been overshadowed by registration drama. So far, La Liga has released Olmo and Víctor, and Barcelona have apparently failed to get their books in order before the deadline.
