FC Barcelona could face financial turmoil over Dani Olmo Saga
FC Barcelona is grappling with a financial and sporting crisis as the saga surrounding Dani Olmo intensifies. The midfielder’s registration was blocked by La Liga, led by Javier Tebas, leaving the Catalan giants racing against a Friday deadline to resolve the issue.
To sway La Liga’s decision, Barcelona has turned to an expedited sale of VIP seats at the future Spotify Camp Nou to investors from Dubai and Qatar.
However, this emergency move is expected to generate only €100 million, significantly below the real market value of these premium seats.
If their efforts fail, the financial consequences could be devastating for the club under Joan Laporta’s leadership.
According to AS, the inability to register Dani Olmo could cost Barcelona up to €200 million.
This includes missing out on a potential €60 million transfer fee for the player and being obligated to honor his full contract salary of €48 million, which runs until 2030.
The situation underscores the financial challenges facing a club striving for stability yet constrained by La Liga’s strict regulations.
The outcome of this debacle could have long-lasting implications for Barcelona’s already precarious financial health.
