Barcelona Secures Temporary Registrations for Dani Olmo and Pau Víctor After Financial Fair Play Dispute

President Joan Laporta defends financial management and accuses critics of targeting the club as LaLiga challenges government intervention.

  • Barcelona was initially blocked by LaLiga and the Spanish Football Federation from registering Dani Olmo and Pau Víctor for failing to meet Financial Fair Play (FFP) rules by the December 31 deadline.
  • Spain's National Sports Council (CSD) overruled the decision, granting the players temporary registration while the club appeals the case.
  • President Joan Laporta cited a new €1.7 billion Nike sponsorship and a €100 million VIP seat deal with Middle Eastern investors as evidence of financial compliance.
  • Laporta accused external and internal critics of attempting to destabilize the club during a pivotal moment, following Barcelona's Spanish Super Cup victory over Real Madrid.
  • LaLiga and several clubs have criticized the CSD's intervention, with LaLiga announcing plans to appeal the decision.
