The Barcelona captain, Ronald Araujo, has revealed that the uncertainty surrounding the future of Dani Olmo and Pau Victor has “worried” him and his teammates.
The Catalan giants were only able to sign Olmo and Victor for the first six months of the season as a stopgap measure following a long-term injury to Andreas Christensen. This expired on December 31. Barcelona could not prove that it had obtained the necessary funds to make room in the players’ salary budget before the end of 2024 and so the pair stayed. removed from the League’s official database.
Despite introducing himself as eternally optimistic that a resolution would be found, La Liga and the Spanish Football Federation (RFEF) rejected Barcelona’s request to re-register the couple. Although revenue from a VIP seating deal had been confirmed late by the authorities, this guarantee was only offered after the December 31 deadline. Once a player’s registration has expired, they cannot re-register with the same club in a single season.
Olmo and Victor were not part of it BarcelonaThe team faced fourth-year Barbastro on Saturday night, but Araujo returned to make his first appearance of the season after recovering from injury. The skipper was predictably asked about the duo after the 4-0 win.
“We are a little worried because they are two very important players for us,” said Araujo Movistar+. “It is a matter of bad taste for our colleagues, but we hope it can be resolved.”
The skipper added: “As captain I tried to reassure them.”
elm has remained publicly unmoved for the chaos that surrounds his future. The Euro 2024 winner inserted a clause in his contract when he signed for Barcelona in the summer that allowed him to become a free agent if that registration eventuality arose.
However, Olmo’s agent has always insisted that his client has no intention of leaving Barcelona despite the wide interest of an excess of Premier League clubs.
Barcelona has not lost hope of keeping Olmo and VÃctor. The La Liga giants have one final ploy in his attempt to stay with the duo, taking the previous case The League and RFEF to the Spanish government. The Superior Sports Council (CSD) will hear Barcelona’s appeal on Tuesday, January 7, although there may be a significant delay before making a final decision.
