The players Dani Olmo and Pau Víctor will still not be registered in LaLiga as FC Barcelona players. Joan Laporta and his board still have not resolved the biggest crisis of their mandate. Also this Saturday, January 4, the news announced by the Blaugrana club during these days, and long nights, has arrived, with more heart than evidence. Quite the opposite. The Monitoring Commission of the LaLiga-RFEF Coordination Agreement, meeting this Saturday, has decided as planned not to grant “the definitive license requested by FC Barcelona for Dani Olmo and Pau Víctor” as reported through a joint official statement.
Neither the major cause put forward by the Barça board due to lack of time nor an alleged misinterpretation of the article that vetoes the double registration of a footballer in the same season. None of the arguments provided by the club to justify why it was late in presenting the documentation that could return both players to a normal situation have been addressed. December 31 was the deadline and LaLiga has not given them as approved and supervised precisely until today. Too late for Olmo and Víctor but not, paradoxically, to finally recover the 1 to 1 rule in terms of financial fair play. That ‘success’ was also confirmed in the same statement: “After the requirements regarding economic control of LaLiga were met on January 3, 2025 by the FCB, and once the pertinent documentation was completed by the club, the Governing Body LaLiga Budget Validation has resolved to extend the FC Barcelona Sports Squad Cost Limit from the aforementioned date.”
Another negative
None of the arguments provided by the club to justify the delay in presenting the documentation that could return both players to a normal situation have been addressed.
That is to say, the long-sought return to normality that gives Barça the possibility of signing from now on if it so wishes, overshadowed by one of the most inexplicable and embarrassing episodes in the club’s history.
To save its reputation and avoid a crisis with unpredictable repercussions today (economic, institutional and social), Barcelona only has two last options left: go to the Higher Sports Council to request the very precautionary measure, understanding that it feels aggrieved by being denied a license, or to ordinary justice. For now, their legal teams will present an appeal on Tuesday, the next business day, at the CSD, hoping to obtain a precautionary measure that will allow their players to participate in the Spanish Super Cup in Riyadh next week. On Wednesday Barça plays the semi-final against Athletic.

Joan Laporta, today in Barbastro to watch the Cup match, has canceled his visit to the town hall and the board lunch that he had scheduled. His trip has been delayed, among other things, because he wanted to reassure Olmo and Pau Víctor personally. The situation is extreme.
