FC Barcelona is facing a significant challenge regarding the registration of midfielder Dani Olmo. After his initial registration expired on December 31, 2024, the club’s recent attempts to re-register him have been unsuccessful. On January 4, 2025, both La Liga and the Royal Spanish Football Federation (RFEF) jointly rejected Barcelona’s request to re-register Olmo and teammate Pau Víctor.

This situation has left Olmo effectively without a club registration since January 1, 2025. Reports indicate that his contract includes a clause allowing him to depart as a free agent if he remains unregistered.

In response, Barcelona has appealed to the Spanish Sports Council (CSD), seeking to overturn the decision. However, the CSD has requested additional input from La Liga and the RFEF, which may delay a final ruling.
The controversy has intensified ahead of the Supercopa de España, with Barcelona including Olmo and Víctor in their squad for the semifinal against Athletic Club, despite their unregistered status. This move has sparked criticism from rival clubs, including Athletic Club, who are reportedly considering all possible actions to prevent Olmo’s participation.
The outcome of this situation remains uncertain, with potential implications for Olmo’s future at Barcelona and his eligibility to participate in upcoming competitions.
