Pau Victor and Dani Olmo Receive License

Barcelona Receives Positive Ruling on Dani Olmo and Pau Victor Registration

Barcelona can now breathe a sigh of relief as the High Sports Committee (CSD) has ruled in their favor regarding the registration of Dani Olmo and Pau Victor. This decision allows the Catalan giants to count on the duo for the final two months of the season, providing much-needed stability to the team.

Background of the Decision

Previously, both Olmo and Victor had been registered under the emergency injury ruling until Barcelona agreed to lease out 475 VIP seats at Camp Nou for 30 years in exchange for €100m. However, delays in providing guarantees and proof of funds to La Liga led to their unregistration. Barcelona contested this decision, claiming they had submitted all required documents on time and escalated the case to the CSD for resolution.

The CSD’s Decision

Following an emergency injunction granted by the CSD, Olmo and Victor were allowed to continue playing while the case was being settled. The CSD ultimately ruled in favor of Barcelona, stating that the Monitoring Commission did not have the authority to cancel the players’ licenses. This decision ensures that both Olmo and Victor will be available for the remainder of the season, providing a much-needed boost to Barcelona’s squad.

Implications for the Future

While Barcelona can now rely on Olmo and Victor for the current season, they will need to address the issue of re-registering both players in the summer, especially after La Liga’s recent announcement regarding the club’s salary limit. Victor, who has seen limited playing time since the case, will need to prove his worth, while Olmo, despite being sidelined due to injury, remains a key player for the team.

Overall, Barcelona’s successful appeal to maintain the registration of Dani Olmo and Pau Victor highlights the complexities of player registration in modern football and the importance of adhering to league regulations.
