Barcelona President Joan Laporta Clashes with La Liga in 2025

In a recent turn of events, Barcelona club president Joan Laporta has found himself in a new confrontation with La Liga in 2025. The outspoken chief has publicly criticized La Liga regarding the Dani Olmo registration issue, which has been a major point of contention in recent weeks.

Temporary Reprieve for Barcelona

After a prolonged legal battle, Barcelona has been granted a temporary reprieve in the Dani Olmo registration saga. As a result, Olmo and Pau Victor are now available for the remainder of the campaign, providing a significant boost to the team.

Legal Battle Looms

Despite the decision by the Higher Sports Council (CSD) in favor of Barcelona, La Liga has announced its intention to appeal the ruling. This move has sparked frustration among several clubs, questioning the validity of the exemption granted to Barcelona in this case.

Laporta’s Defiant Stance

Laporta’s reaction to the CSD’s decision was evident as he celebrated the outcome in front of La Liga and RFEF officials in Jeddah. He has made it clear that he is prepared to take the matter to court if necessary, emphasizing the need for a different approach to handling such controversies.

According to quotes from Marca, Laporta stated, “The Supercup has been surrounded by controversy that could have been avoided if things were done differently. The fact is it’s now resolved and they will be able to play. From Barca’s point of view, we are satisfied.”

Uncertain Future

As La Liga prepares to appeal the CSD’s decision, the timeline for the next steps remains unclear. The RFEF is expected to support La Liga in their efforts to challenge the ruling, setting the stage for a potential legal showdown in the near future.
