Barça’s Dani Olmo Dilemma: Financial struggles threaten to lose Star player
FC Barcelona’s attempt to secure the future of Dani Olmo has hit a major roadblock, leaving the club in a race against time. Despite initial optimism, the Catalan club’s legal challenge to registrate Dani Olmo has been rejected by a court ruling on December 27.
Barcelona had filed a request with the Commercial Court, arguing that La Liga’s Delegate Commission was overstepping by restricting Olmo’s license to just a few more days.
The club hoped to secure additional time to generate enough revenue to meet financial regulations.
However, Judge Ignacio Fernández de Senespleda’s decision means Barcelona will face a critical deadline: without an updated license, Olmo will be unable to play in La Liga or the UEFA Champions League from January 1, 2025.
Adding further pressure, Olmo’s contract reportedly includes a clause allowing him to leave the club without a transfer fee if he is not officially registered with La Liga by the new year.
Given Barcelona’s ongoing financial difficulties, the club now has just a few days to find a solution that prevents losing the talented midfielder.
Olmo, a player deeply committed to Barcelona, may be tempted to seek other opportunities if the situation is not resolved.
With time running out, the club’s leadership must act swiftly to ensure they don’t lose another valuable asset in a financially strained season.
