A court has rejected Barcelona’s request to extend Dani Olmo’s registration until the end of the season, giving the La Liga side just four days to find a solution before the midfielder’s current registration expires.
Barcelona were unable to sign Olmo, or academy graduate Pau Victor, when both joined the senior squad in the summer until Andreas Christensen went down with a serious injury which gave Barca the freedom to temporarily register Olmo instead.
Olmo’s current registration expires on December 31 and it is believed that Barca are not in the financial position necessary to re-register the Spain international. which led them to take the League to court to ask for a change in the rules.
according to SPORTthe judge has ruled against Barça, rejecting the club’s claim that the League regulations should not be maintained because those responsible are “incompetent”.
Barça They had hoped to repeat the legal success that allowed them to register Gavi in ​​January 2023, but this time, the League really fought back and managed to convince the judge to rule against the Blaugrana.
It means Olmo, unless something changes before the January transfer window, will not be registered when the second half of the season begins – a major concern for Barcelona as he is believed to have a release clause in his contract which allows you to leave for free if you are not registered.
According to reports, clubs are starting to circle around Olmo and the Daily Mail recently revealed that the 26-year-old’s agent has traveled to Manchester, sparking suggestions of talks with either Manchester City or Manchester United.
“Yes, that’s right I’m in Manchester,” said agent Andy Bara. “I’m here on vacation.”
