Barcelona secures 28 M Euros: Will it be enough to register Dani Olmo?

Barcelona still lacks the funds necessary to finish Dani Olmo and Pau Victor's registrations, if La Liga approves them. The Blaugrana have missed the deadline to keep their registration, and Barcelona will lose both for free unless La Liga makes an exception.

Barcelona has promised that the case will be settled today, but other than Hansi Flick's news conference before the game, they have not made any public statements on it. Although, the Barcelona manager acknowledged that he was unhappy with the state of affairs, he said he was certain the club would find a solution.

According to reports, the story may continue for a few more days. Barcelona only got 28 million euros Tuesday afternoon from one of the companies who bought a portion of the marketing rights to their VIP boxes at Camp Nou for the next 20 years. Barcelona promises that they will be able to register Olmo and Pau Victor with the 100 million euros from that deal. The team claims that they are not considering any scenario in which they are both unavailable.

President Joan Laporta won't speak to the media to explain the entire mess until both have been registered. They are depending on La Liga to make an exemption and register both players, though, as they have already removed their registrations. To keep both players registered through legal methods, Barcelona plans to take the matter to court and seek an extension of the case if they are denied registrations.

Two Premier League teams want to sign Dani Olmo

Both players would be able to end their contracts to join other teams and start working on the final day of the transfer window if this were the case. Two Premier League teams, Manchester United and Manchester City, are closely monitoring Dani Olmo. 

The case is developing quickly, and there will be significant effects. In the view of many vying for President Laporta's position at the club, a bad outcome would undoubtedly weaken his reputation. Conversely, if Olmo and Victor are registered, other teams are allegedly thinking about suing La Liga for tampering with the tournament.
