It is well-known that the failure to register Olmo dealt a heavy blow to Barcelona, resulting in not only significant financial losses but also turmoil within the club's management.
According to "Mundo Deportivo," due to the poor handling of the registration issues involving Olmo and Paul Victor, Laporta's opponents are demanding his resignation, threatening to initiate a vote of no confidence among Barcelona members if he does not step down. The groups calling for Laporta's resignation include eight Barcelona supporter organizations led by Fonte, Campello, and others.
However, Laporta has firmly rejected the calls to resign, insisting that there is still hope for resolving the registration issues concerning Olmo and Paul Victor. Barcelona has appealed to the Spanish High Sports Council (CSD), with a decision expected on January 8th. Laporta's team is urging unity within the club to prevent further internal conflicts.
Barcelona is facing external pressure as well. It is reported that due to Olmo's failed registration and inability to play, certain easily achievable floating clauses in his transfer contract will not be triggered, leading to Leipzig seeking compensation of 10 million euros from Barcelona.
Every action has its cause and effect. While the Barcelona management bears responsibility for the chaos, Sevilla's fanning the flames cannot be overlooked.
As reported by "Sport," Sevilla's pressure on La Liga regarding the Olmo registration issue escalated the conflict between the two clubs. Now, the relationship between Barcelona and Sevilla has completely broken down, with Barcelona deciding to sever ties and halt all transfer transactions with the other party.
Barcelona has explicitly stated that, given Sevilla's hostile stance, they will not enter into any transfer agreements with the club.
The dispute between Barcelona and Sevilla has been ongoing for months, particularly since last season when Sevilla's top brass refused to attend the Montjuïc box over the Negredo case, causing a sharp deterioration in relations.
Barcelona is puzzled by this hostility, as the boards of both clubs have maintained a friendly cooperative relationship, with frequent transfers generating millions of euros in revenue over the past few years, making Barcelona one of Sevilla's key economic sources.
Sources reveal that from the Negredo incident to the Olmo case, some La Liga clubs have consistently kept a close watch on Barcelona's financial situation, continuously pressuring La Liga and the Spanish Football Federation to strictly scrutinize Barcelona's economic activities.
These clubs even threatened legal action to block the registration of Olmo and Paul Victor if it were to occur. Among them, Sevilla was the most proactive, exerting significant pressure during the Olmo registration event and previously expressing dissatisfaction with Barcelona's financial operations on multiple occasions.
Looking ahead, the player most affected by the severed ties between Barcelona and Sevilla is Fati. His future at Barcelona is uncertain, with the club considering selling him during the winter transfer window. Previously, Sevilla had shown interest in acquiring Fati. However, due to the破裂 relationship with Barcelona, a transfer to Sevilla is now impossible.
