Dani Olmo’s possible comeback depends on the league approving his registration before the December 31 deadline at midnight. There will be a lot of activity at the league headquarters and within the Catalan club during this important period. The Barcelona organization might experience an unparalleled level of shame if the registration does not materialize before the end of the year.
According to La Liga sources, Olmo would not be able to register with Barcelona for the current season if the financial fair play issue is not settled by December 31 at 23:59. This implies that the player will not play in La Liga this season if the league does not approve the sale of VIP boxes at Camp Nou by the due date. He may renew his federation registration to compete in other events, but he would instead become a free agent and be unable to play in league games until the following season.
In this case, Dani Olmo would be free to join with any team on January 1st, if he so desires. He might also stay at Barcelona, earning his money without participating in La Liga, but still be able to play in other competitions like the Champions League, Supercopa de España, or others.
La Liga rules state in Article 141, point 5 that “players whose licenses are cancelled cannot, during the same season, obtain a license with the same club they were previously associated with.” This suggests that if the Blaugrana don’t settle its financial issues by 23:59 on December 31, neither Dani Olmo nor Pau Víctor would be able to play for the team again in La Liga.
“If it were easy, it would already be done,” a La Liga insider told OKDIARIO of the league’s expectation that Dani Olmo’s registration will be approved before to the deadline. The day is turning out to be difficult, and it is becoming increasingly apparent that the hours to come will be hectic. If this issue is not handled by the start of the new year, it will be a historic occasion.
La Liga has asked for copies of the contracts and evidence that Barcelona has received an advance payment for the VIP seat sale, which Barcelona provided to the league in the last few hours. If this issue is not rectified right away, many people’s New Year’s Eve festivities could turn sour.
