La Liga re-registers Dani Omlo and Pau Victor as Barcelona prepares to win legal battle

On Wednesday, Barcelona was temporarily permitted to register Dani Olmo and Pau Victor as a precaution. La Liga, one of the organizations who were dissatisfied with the Higher Sports Council's (CSD) decision, officially announced this 24 hours later. Barcelona's repeated attempts to register Dani Olmo and Victor were denied by La Liga and the Spanish Football Federation; nevertheless, the CSD's intervention allowed the Catalans to call upon both players going forward. The two were formally registered 24 hours after the decision was given.

During Barcelona’s Spanish Super Cup match against Athletic Club, Joan Laporta was seen enjoying after CSD gave a temporary green light to register both players. The fact that Barcelona can rely on Olmo and Victor for the time being is a fantastic news. Both players are eligible to play in Sunday's Spanish Super Cup final, which will pit them against Real Madrid. As things stand, the Catalans will have the pair accessible for no more than three months, however, if their petition is successful, that is when, the frame will be extended to the end of the season.

Financial troubles continues for Barcelona

The two players were only registered till the end of 2024 last summer, and Barcelona, which is struggling financially, did not comply with the league's financial fair-play regulations by the year-end deadline. After apparently receiving a payment of 100 million euros ($103 million) last week for VIP seats at the refurbished Camp Nou stadium, Barcelona was finally be allowed to raise it's salary ceiling.

The salary cap for each club in La Liga is determined by a number of factors, which include earnings, expenses, and debts. It is equivalent to about  70% of a club’s earnings. Due to its financial troubles, Barcelona recently faced trouble signing players. Future television rights have been among the assets which it has sold off in recent seasons. Due to the club’s financial difficulties, the club star Lionel Messi had to leave the club in 2021.
