What Barcelona thinks it has to do to register Dani Olmo and Pau Víctor in La Liga

Barcelona are facing an institutional crisis entirely of their own making, as Dani Olmo and Pau Víctor are not registered after the January deadline. As things stand, they will not be able to play the remainder of the season.

The Blaugrana remain confident that they will be able to register both and have them available for the remainder of the season, despite the obvious issue of having requested their licenses from the RFEF. They believe that if they can demonstrate payment of the entire 100 million euros for their VIP boxes at the Camp Nou, La Liga will give the green light to the RFEF to grant both players their licenses.

From their point of view, they submitted the contractual agreement to La Liga on time, but were asked for more payment guarantees, after previous cases in which Barcelona reached agreements but did not receive payment. MD says that Barcelona believe they will have all the documents in place by Friday and that they aim to resolve the matter before Hansi Flick’s pre-press conference for their Copa del Rey clash against Barbastro.

Meanwhile, RAC1 explains that Barcelona have received part of that €100 million fee, but sources inside the club acknowledge that not all of the necessary cash was in their accounts before the deadline. If it is paid in full on Friday, and with the agreement presented before the deadline, they hope to still get the green light.
