After defeating Real Madrid 5-2 away from home to win the Spanish Super Cup title, Flick not only achieved two consecutive victories in El Clásico but also successfully secured Barcelona's first championship; however, Barcelona did not have much time to celebrate. In the early hours of January 16th, Beijing time, Barcelona faced the strong Royal Betis in the round of 16 of the King's Cup. Yarmal contributed with a goal and an assist, Olmo provided two assists, Gavi, Rafinha both scored, and Barcelona advanced with a 5-1 victory. In last month's La Liga match, Barcelona drew 2-2 away against Betis after conceding a late equalizer; for this game, Flick had Lewandowski and Casado on the bench ready to be called upon. The newly re-registered Olmo joined forces with Rafinha and Yarmal in the attack; De Jong returned to the starting lineup to form a midfield trio with Gavi and Pedri; Araujo, who recovered from injury, teamed up with Koundé, Kubasi, and Gerard Martin in the defense, with Peña standing in front of the goal. The game started with a dream start for Barcelona as they took the lead just three minutes in; Pedri broke through and passed directly, Olmo received the ball, dribbled past defenders, and laid it off for Gavi to follow up with a powerful shot into the net, making it 1:0! After recovering from injury, Gavi has contributed 2 goals and 1 assist in the last 3 games. After taking the lead, Barcelona played more confidently. In the 9th minute, Olmo's shot inside the penalty area was…

After half a season of suffering, Spanish star Olmo finally completed his registration and managed to obtain the qualification to play for Barcelona. Due to the insistence of La Liga not allowing Barcelona to register Olmo, the Catalan giants had to seek help from the Spanish Higher Sports Council, bypassing La Liga to obtain temporary registration qualifications for Olmo. This gave Barcelona and Olmo some breathing space, although the fundamental problems of Barcelona have not been resolved, and their relationship with La Liga is quite delicate. La Liga's Tebas is very dissatisfied with the intervention of the Spanish Higher Sports Council and the temporary registration qualifications given to Olmo and others. He believes that everyone should consider Barcelona's financial control mechanism instead of ignoring it and meeting any requirements. Moreover, it is widely rumored throughout La Liga and even the world football community that Barcelona's Spanish internationals played a significant role in Olmo's registration, with reports suggesting that they would collectively withdraw from the Spanish national team if Olmo was not registered. If this were true, the matter would be very serious. Just before Olmo's temporary registration, Spain's well-known "As Newspaper" exposed this incident. Since there are many Spanish internationals in Barcelona's squad, who are also core players, and Olmo himself is a mainstay of the Spanish team, this matter caused a huge stir after being exposed, and then Olmo was allowed to be temporarily registered. After Barcelona's midfielder successfully completed his registration, Spanish international Pedri clarified the rumors, stating that it is not true that Spanish internationals threatened to…

In the aftermath of Barcelona successfully registering Olmo, the Spanish football scene experienced significant turmoil. Within just one day, eight clubs have openly protested, questioning whether Barcelona received preferential treatment. Under mounting pressure, La Liga has decided to appeal the decision to register Olmo. On January 1st, Barcelona was unable to resolve financial issues, leading to the expiration of Olmo's registration. On January 4th, Barcelona re-applied for Olmo's registration but was rejected by both La Liga and the Spanish Football Federation. Subsequently, Barcelona filed an appeal. Ultimately, the Spanish High Sports Council ruled that Barcelona could temporarily register Olmo. In the early hours of January 9th, Barcelona officially announced the successful registration of Olmo. Over the past 24 hours, as many as seven clubs have publicly protested. The first to speak out was La Liga team Las Palmas, who officially expressed their great disappointment with the decision to allow temporary registration for Olmo & Victor, stating they "absolutely disagree." Following Las Palmas, Atlético Madrid, Málaga, Espanyol, Valencia, Athletic Bilbao, and Valladolid also issued statements, condemning Barcelona's actions for disrupting the football environment and casting a severe negative shadow over Spanish football. Atlético Madrid believes that "this decision undermines the current system and raises questions about match rules." Although Real Madrid did not issue a public statement, Ancelotti expressed his dissatisfaction. In an interview, the Real Madrid coach stated, "I do have thoughts on the matter with Olmo, but I don't want to say them." Clearly, Coach Ancelotti is aware that if he speaks up, it will surely stir up significant…

At the beginning of this season, Barcelona also made a remarkable performance, once ranking first in the La Liga. However, as the team has entered this stage, there has been a significant internal turmoil, among which the registration issue concerning Olmo has drawn considerable attention. Olmo, who followed the Spanish national team to win the European Cup in the summer, has also received attention from many top clubs. Barcelona also took the initiative to invite him, as he is a native Spanish player. Therefore, Olmo chose to join Barcelona, and it seems that he has quickly integrated into the team. However, due to registration issues, Olmo might have left for free during the winter transfer window. The Barcelona management was very anxious, but now the Spanish High Sports Council (CSD) has announced that Barcelona can temporarily register Olmo. This announcement has made the Barcelona team quite happy, as they will not lose the player for nothing. However, other top teams naturally cannot accept this situation. Among them, Atletico Madrid led the way in expressing strong dissatisfaction with Barcelona's backdoor registration, believing that such an operation by CSD has caused damage to other La Liga teams. This is a threat to fairness and sets a very dangerous precedent. However, this time, the reaction from Real Madrid was surprisingly different. Because Real Madrid did not express any doubts about Barcelona. Instead, Real Madrid wants to support them, as they believe Barcelona is their partner in creating the European Super League, and this time they have chosen to stand with Barcelona.

In the European football world, every transfer deal of the top clubs is highly anticipated, and now the La Liga giant Barcelona is deeply involved in a big trouble caused by transfers. The summer transfer window's top signing, Olmo, once filled Barcelona fans with high hopes. This star, who shone brightly at the European Championship and helped Spain win the trophy, showed excellent form and strength upon joining Barcelona, as if he were a new star about to shine at the Nou Camp. He quickly won the recognition of the coaching staff and his teammates with his on-field performance, and everyone looked forward to him injecting strong momentum into the team's new season campaign. However, reality can be cruel. To this day, Olmo has still not been able to complete registration, which has left Barcelona at a loss. The official stance of La Liga is very tough, rejecting Barcelona's attempts to register him through other means, effectively declaring that Olmo will not participate in the second half of the La Liga season. For a player in his prime who craves the field, this is undoubtedly terrible news. After learning that registration was hopeless, Olmo's attitude also changed. As a Spanish international, he knew that not being registered meant missing out on the Champions League and having a negative impact on his future with the national team. In the harsh reality of professional football, Olmo chose to make a decisive change. According to reliable sources, he has made up his mind to leave for free after the winter transfer window opens.…

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…

AC Milan has seen a significant drop in performance since the start of this season, falling from being a top contender in the league to potentially missing out on Champions League qualification. The club has made a decisive managerial change, but they still need to address an important issue: finding a suitable central midfielder to enhance their squad and push for a top-four finish in the second half of the season. In a stroke of genius, Milan is pursuing a move for Barcelona's summer transfer window star, Olmo. With Olmo unable to secure registration due to La Liga's refusal to provide any concessions to Barcelona, he will likely seek a new club to continue his career. Milan is willing to sign him for free and let him play for half a season before returning him to Barcelona at the end of the season for a nominal transfer fee. This move not only allows Milan to acquire a top-tier midfielder in his prime to bolster their Champions League push but also provides the opportunity to make a profit by selling him back to Barcelona later. World Sports Daily's deputy editor, Cristina Cubero, confirmed this news, stating that Milan has approached Barcelona with their plan for Olmo. The likelihood of this operation happening is increasing, and Barcelona is waiting for the player's final decision. However, such a deal with Milan could help Barcelona minimize their losses.

This season, although Barcelona started off very well and maintained an absolute dominance in La Liga, the team has experienced significant fluctuations as the season progressed, resulting in a drop in the standings. The main reason for Barcelona's decline in performance is due to internal turmoil within the team and the lack of experience among the young players. In this regard, La Liga officials have announced a message that directly caused Barcelona to lose 120 million euros. Among them, because Olmo's transfer fee reached 55 million euros, Barcelona needs to pay all of it to Leipzig. Additionally, there is the issue of Olmo's salary; if Olmo were to leave the team, Barcelona would also need to pay the remaining salary in full. Due to Olmo's inability to register, he will be unable to participate in matches for the Spanish national team and the Champions League. Therefore, it is unlikely that the player would give up his future career for Barcelona. Regarding Olmo's potential new team, the current frontrunner is joining the Premier League powerhouse Manchester City. Originally, Manchester City had a strong interest in Olmo during the summer and extended an invitation to him, but due to financial issues, they were ultimately unable to sign him. However, now faced with the opportunity to acquire Olmo for free, Manchester City remains very interested in signing him. This time, Coach Guardiola and Manchester City can be considered to have gotten a bargain, obtaining a central midfielder who can help build a new lineup system. Olmo also thoroughly proved himself during the summer…

The registration dilemma of Olmo has once again turned Barcelona into a laughingstock. On the evening of January 4th, La Liga and the Spanish Football Association jointly announced that they had rejected Olmo's registration. It is reported that Olmo is very angry about this, while Laporta stated that he would appeal. Due to their failure to complete Olmo's registration before January 1st, Barcelona has recently been in a passive position. Although they urgently raised 100 million euros by selling seats at the Camp Nou, their re-application for Olmo's registration was rejected by La Liga and the Football Association. Barcelona is very disappointed with this outcome. It is reported that Laporta is particularly furious. Originally, he was supposed to have a lunch gathering with the opponent club before the King's Cup match and hold a reception. However, upon learning of Olmo's failed registration, he refused to attend these two major events. For Olmo, this result is undoubtedly a disaster. In the next six months, he will be unable to play football. Moreover, according to relevant regulations, he cannot even be called up to the national team. In recent days, Olmo has consistently stated that he will not leave Barcelona and wants to continue playing for them. However, he now faces two difficult choices: 1) Stay with the team, likely to go half a year without playing, wasting precious time; 2) Leave the team, terminate his contract with Barcelona, but he will not receive a penny of salary until 2030. Spanish media outlet AS revealed that Olmo feels that Barcelona deceived him.…

In the 2023-24 season, Barcelona experienced a season without any major titles, with several twists and turns. The season had not yet ended when coach Xavi was dismissed. New coach Flick took over, and Barcelona went all out to buy back their former player Olmo. At the beginning of the season, under Flick's leadership, Barcelona took the lead in the La Liga standings with great momentum, especially with consecutive victories over Bayern Munich and Real Madrid in the Champions League and La Liga, which was truly uplifting. However, it did not last long. In the last match of 2024, Barcelona lost 1:2 at home to Atletico Madrid, not only losing the top spot but also falling to third place, trailing Atletico by 3 points and Real Madrid by 2 points after playing one more game. Entering 2025, Barcelona's first match of the new year is an away match against Babastu in the King's Cup. The winter transfer window for the 2025 football season has opened. For Barcelona, who lost the top spot in the last match of the first half of the 2024-25 La Liga season at home to Atletico, the most pressing issue at present is not to strengthen the urgently needed front line and defense, but how to keep the new summer signing Olmo. In the 2024 European Cup, Spain won the championship with a perfect record, and Barcelona players such as Pedri and Yamar played a significant role, along with players like Olmo and Nico Williams who have connections with Barcelona. During the 2024 summer transfer window,…
