Barcelona has faced another setback as their appeal to provisionally register Dani Olmo for the remainder of the season was denied by the courts. The club, which signed Olmo in August for around 55 million euros, is struggling to adhere to LaLiga's wage cap restrictions.

The initial registration of Olmo was permitted due to the injuries of key players, allowing a temporary allocation of wages. However, the Commercial Court number 10 of Barcelona and the Court of First Instance number 47 have both ruled against Barcelona's request for precautionary registration.

LaLiga defended its budgeting policies and the decisions made by its various committees, highlighting the absence of necessary conditions for the precautionary measure. With the deadline looming, Barcelona considers alternative financial maneuvers, like the sale of VIP boxes at Camp Nou, to stay compliant.
