Overview

  • LaLiga maintains that Barcelona has not met Financial Fair Play requirements to register Dani Olmo and Pau Víctor since December 31, 2024.
  • The €100 million VIP seat sale, initially used to justify compliance, has been excluded from Barcelona's revised financial accounts by their current auditor.
  • LaLiga has lowered Barcelona's wage cap and reported the club's previous auditor to Spain's ICAC over the disputed transaction.
  • The Spanish Sports Council (CSD) granted temporary registrations for Olmo and Víctor in January 2025, with a final ruling on their eligibility expected by April 7, 2025.
  • Barcelona President Joan Laporta defends the club's actions, asserting that the player registrations were conducted in accordance with regulations.
