Barcelona find themselves in a tricky situation after signing Dani Olmo.
The 26-year-old, who starred for Spain at Euro 2024 with three goals and two assists, signed a six-year contract at Camp Nou which includes a £429m release clause.However, it looks unlikely that the Masia academy graduate will be able to make his return in Barcelona 's La Liga opener against Valencia on Friday.While Spanish clubs are free to spend what they like on transfers, La Liga has strict financial regulations when it comes to registering players to play in the league.
As reported by Ser, Barcelona find themselves in a situation where they need to sell players in order to register others, including new signing Olmo.As things stand, several other players including Inigo Martinez and Vitor Roque will not be registered in time for the season opener on Friday.Barcelona's financial issues are well documented, but the current situation might have been avoided if one of the 'financial levers' club president Joan Laporta pulled had worked.
The sale was valued at 100 million euros, but Libero later backed out of the deal by allegedly refusing to pay.However, according to reports, even when the full amount is paid Barcelona will still be in the position of needing to raise more money than they spend.
