Barcelona could lose as much as €263 million after failing to register Dani Olmo: Reports
According to Spanish publication SPORT, Barcelona could lose up to €263 million following their failure to re-register their summer signing Dani Olmo for the second half of the season. The Catalan club received a setback on New Year’s Eve, as LaLiga released a statement, saying it would not allow Olmo to be registered for the rest of the 2024-25 season.
Dani Olmo joined Barcelona in 2024 on a six-year deal for a reported fee of €55 million, but the attacking midfielder was registered only for the first half of the season. They managed to register him and Pau Victor after long-term injuries kept a few first-team players out of the squad, thereby allowing them to allocate a portion of their wages. However, the registration was valid only until Tuesday (December 31).
The impending return of defenders Ronald Araujo and Andreas Christensen to the squad has complicated matters for the club’s summer signings. Barcelona are still struggling with LaLiga’s salary limit and will have new players automatically de-registered when the existing players return to action.
