At 9:15 p.m. LaLiga has reacted by closing the issue without fueling Barça’s hopes of keeping Olmo and Pau Víctor registered beyond December 31. The club’s employers’ association is categorical and assures in a statement that “FC Barcelona has not presented any alternative that, in compliance with LaLiga’s economic control regulations, would allow it to register any player from January 2nd.”
Despite this, in the Barça the official reaction of LaLiga and hopes remain that it will be able to continue keeping registered Elm and Pau Victor for the second half of the course, scheduling Friday, January 3, to give more information about it.
Sources of the RFEF They point to MD that cannot process any federal license without the approval of LaLigasomething that has not happened to this day. Another thing is that between now and January 3, a date that is unofficially moved from the Barçathe Barça club and the employers resolve their differences.
It should be remembered that the FC Barcelona I had until December 31 at 11:59 p.m. to solve the situation of both footballers, who are registered only until the end of 2024.
The movement of Barça intends to gain margin until the market closes on February 2 to be able to register both players without having to do so before the end of the year but the reaction of LaLiga has been forceful in this regard after having received and analyzed during this Tuesday afternoon the additional documentation on the payment receipts for the sale of the Spotify Camp Nou VIP seats.
A possible sidereal economic damage for FC Barcelona
If he doesn’t end up getting his way, the Barça I would lose Elmwho would be completely free despite having signed a contract last August until June 2030 as there is a release clause in the document. The Barça club would be obliged to pay the entire salary that had been agreed upon until then and would assume as losses this season the entire 48 million fixed euros that it must pay to the player. Leipzig without the possibility of amortizing them in six seasons. Therefore, of the eight that it had to amortize in this year, Barça would have a huge negative impact of 40 ‘kilos’ on the accounts for the 2024-25 season.
As to Pau Victorin his contract until 2029 there is no clause that releases him but if he does not have the registration in order he could be transferred to another club from January to June 2025.
What the standard and precedents say
The question is: And why is there such a rush when the transfer market extends until February 2? Why the Barcelona Does it ask for a new license if both players are already registered? The answer is in the federal regulations that make it clear that the registration of Dani Olmo He will be unregistered and will no longer be able to join the Barça club again this season. The same happens with Paul Victor.
This is established in article 130 of the General Regulations of the RFEF where it specifies that “A footballer may be registered in a single team of a club, without the possibility of being discharged and registered by the same during the course of the season.” same season, except in cases of force majeure or regulatory provision. Likewise, during the course of the season, you may not be registered and line up in more than three different ones.
And this is what happens with Dani Olmo and Pau Victor. As of January 1, they will be discharged and, as LaLiga recalls, there is no longer any room to re-register him in the Barça team. If they could do it with any other LaLiga club.
There are precedents from last season with Gabri Veiga when he considered returning to Celta in the winter after leaving at the beginning of the season to Saudi Arabia or Samu Omorodion that, once he was signed by Atlético de Madrid, he could no longer return to Granada, the club to which he was signed, but had to go on loan to Alavés.

Even the Barcelona has the precedent of Pierre-Emerick Aubameyang in January 2023. He wanted to pick it up from Chelseabut he could not do so because he had already been registered in August 2022, that same season, as a Barça player before being transferred. This explains the urgency of Barcelona to validate the registration of Dani Olmoapart from the private separation agreement as of January 1, 2025 that he has with the Barça club if this does not occur.
