The registration issue of Olmo has recently attracted the attention of the entire La Liga. Yesterday, Barcelona stated that they had resolved their financial problems and were hopeful of successfully registering Olmo today. However, they are now facing opposition from almost the entire La Liga!
Due to their failure to raise the necessary funds before the deadline set by La Liga, Barcelona was unable to register Olmo. Subsequently, La Liga officially removed Olmo's information, meaning he would be unable to play for Barcelona for the next half-season. It was only then that the Barcelona management woke up to the situation and accelerated their efforts to raise the required funds.
In the past two days, Laporta sold Barcelona's VIP seats for a "low" price of 100 million euros. Barcelona believes this can solve the registration problem for Olmo. They will explain to La Liga that the reason they were unable to complete the registration before January 1st was due to uncontrollable external factors.
Laporta and the Barcelona management held an internal meeting yesterday, and they are very optimistic that the suspense surrounding Olmo's registration will come to an end today. Article 130.2 of the Spanish Football Federation's general regulations can support Barcelona's application.
However, these plans of Barcelona are just wishful thinking on their part. According to "El Diario Deportivo," officials from several La Liga clubs believe that Barcelona should not be given special treatment and that La Liga should treat all teams equally. Previously, other La Liga teams have faced similar issues, but players like Okazaki Shinji and others ultimately failed to register.
Other La Liga teams have stated that if the league management gives Barcelona preferential treatment, they will consider legal action until La Liga declares Olmo's registration invalid. Spanish media emphasizes that Barcelona's relationship with other La Liga clubs has been very tense in recent years, with Laporta being a major cause.
Fans speculate that among the clubs threatening to sue Barcelona, there should be Real Madrid. Yesterday, Real Madrid coach Ancelotti commented on Barcelona's registration of Olmo, saying, "We must respect all clubs, respect all institutions and rules!"
