Barcelona Faces Major Setback as Dani Olmo's Registration Denied by La Liga

The club's financial struggles and missed deadlines leave star midfielder Dani Olmo unable to play, with his future at Barcelona uncertain.

Dani Olmo, signed for €60 million in the summer, cannot play for Barcelona after La Liga removed him from the squad due to financial fair play violations.
Barcelona failed to meet a December 31 deadline to clear salary-cap space, and subsequent legal appeals to re-register Olmo were denied.
The club's financial issues, including €1.3 billion in debt, have caused repeated registration problems and forced the sale of future revenue streams to stay afloat.
Olmo's contract includes a clause allowing him to leave for free if unregistered, but his agent insists he remains committed to staying at Barcelona.
Club President Joan Laporta faces mounting criticism for mishandling the situation, with some calling for his resignation over what could cost the club over €260 million in total liabilities.
