Barcelona Faces Financial Turmoil as Dani Olmo Removed from La Liga Roster
The Spanish league enforces strict financial regulations, leaving Barça unable to register its €55 million summer signing for the remainder of the season.
- Dani Olmo and fellow Barcelona player Pau Victor have been removed from La Liga's official roster due to the club's non-compliance with salary cap regulations.
- Barcelona's financial struggles stem from La Liga's strict economic control rules, which limit team spending based on their overall budget.
- The club had temporarily registered Olmo in the summer by leveraging an injury exception but failed to resolve its financial issues during the interim period.
- Olmo, signed from RB Leipzig for €55 million, now has the contractual right to leave Barcelona as a free agent if not registered, potentially costing the club €263 million in salary obligations.
- Barcelona has requested a new license from the Spanish Football Federation to extend Olmo's eligibility, but experts suggest this request is unlikely to succeed.
