Barcelona's Player Registration Saga: Olmo and Victor in Limbo

Barcelona faces a registration dilemma with players Dani Olmo and Pau Victor. Despite new applications for their licences with the Spanish FA, financial restrictions and LaLiga's economic control measures hamper efforts. As Barcelona explores funding by selling VIP seats, their competitive season hangs in the balance.

Barcelona has applied for new player licenses with the Spanish Football Association for Dani Olmo and Pau Victor. This move was made on Tuesday, right before the deadline, amidst ongoing financial challenges preventing their registration.

The club faced a setback after losing a second appeal on Monday over player registrations due to LaLiga's wage cap issues. Barcelona signed Olmo for around 55 million euros but has struggled to secure his spot due to economic constraints.

Looking ahead, Barcelona plans to raise funds by selling VIP box seats at Camp Nou, which could generate more than 100 million euros. However, LaLiga requires alternatives that meet their economic regulations before new registrations can occur.
