In a significant turn of events, Spanish La Liga has officially registered FC Barcelona’s new signings, Dani Olmo and Pau Victor, following weeks of contention.
The development follows a precautionary measure granted by the Higher Sports Council (CSD) on Wednesday, January 8, allowing Barcelona to proceed with the players’ registration.
A Long-Standing Dispute
For weeks, both La Liga and the Spanish Football Federation (RFEF) had denied Barcelona’s requests to register the players, citing various regulatory constraints. However, the CSD’s intervention shifted the narrative, directing La Liga to complete the registration process. Despite initially criticizing the ruling, La Liga complied within 24 hours, enabling Olmo and Victor to join the club’s roster.
Boost for Barcelona
This decision is a major boost for Barcelona, who had been eager to utilize the talents of Olmo and Victor in their squad. Both players are now eligible to participate in upcoming fixtures, including the Spanish Super Cup final, where Barcelona will face either Real Madrid or Mallorca.
Registration Details
The players are initially registered for a period of three months. If the ongoing legal and administrative processes regarding their eligibility are resolved in Barcelona’s favor, the registration could extend until the end of the season.
Excitement Among Fans
The inclusion of Dani Olmo, known for his creative midfield play, and Pau Victor, a promising young talent, is expected to enhance Barcelona’s competitiveness across competitions. Fans are eagerly anticipating their debut as the team prepares for crucial matches ahead.
This development not only reinforces Barcelona’s squad depth but also highlights the ongoing challenges in player registration and regulatory compliance within Spanish football.
