Another endless day on the ‘case Elm‘although with positive news at least for him FC Barcelona. LaLiga informed the club at the stroke of midnight this Friday that, once the review of the documentation sent on December 30 and 31 had been completed, it had granted the Barça club the 1:1 rule of financial fair play. He Barça Thus, it ceases to be intervened with a rule that enables the Barça entity to enter the winter transfer market with full normality. The Barcelona club remembers that recovering the 1:1 rule was an essential condition for the registration of Dani Olmo and Pau Victorsomething that was requested on December 30.

At the same time, the president Laporta and its hard core continued working in the offices until 12:10 a.m. trying to get it LaLiga admit the registrations of both footballers. The club denies that there is a verbal agreement with the employers in this regard. LaLiga continues without giving his arm to twist, leaving his position clear so that the RFEF does not admit the interpretation of force majeure so that Barça can cling to the fine print of the article 130 of the General Regulations of the Federationwhich is internally debating the interpretation of the norm but with caution as it has just entered Rafael Louzan as president.

As explained by the RFEFwith which the Barça will continue speaking this Saturday, the club sent an informative email on Friday night updating the situation to LaLiga and her own Federationbut the latter still did not contain any request for the processing of a license by the employers’ association for the footballers in accordance with the established channels. The alternative route that Barça is considering is to request the very precautionary Administrative Court of Sports (CSD) or through ordinary justice, as Mundo Deportivo already advanced on Thursday.

To return to the 1:1 ruleeverything depended on them reaching the coffers of the Barça the 28 million that were missing from one of the two investors who have paid to have the concession to exploit the VIP seats of the future Spotify Camp Nou. The arrival of the bank transfer was expected at noon, finally effective at 2:30 p.m. Automatically, the Barça sent the documentation with an auditor’s report to LaLiga for subsequent validation. At night OK arrived, recovering normality in the transfer market with the 1:1 rule.

Although this does not allow you to register Elm and Pau Victorthe paradox arises that the Barça Yes, he can sign other footballers. The club employers changed the regulations and were more inflexible after the non-payment of Libero Football Finance AG with Barça Vision. That is why it required that in any asset sale operation, a club must have already deposited 20% in cash. If there was no solvency study of the investment company with which an agreement was reached, the percentage of the money deposited had to be 40%. Now, since these are two different investors, one of them Qatar and another of dubaihe Barça 40% of each of the two operations had to be deposited. And there were 28 ‘kilos’ on one side that were missing to meet the demands of LaLiga.

If the employer does not give in with the chips Elm and Victorhe Barça will not sit idly by. Request the precautionary C.S.D. or through ordinary justice is the way on the table with the objective that both can continue playing with the Barça and the rule that expired on December 31 ended up being changed to regularize financial fair play with players who were registered until that day. He Barça understands that the regulations should extend the deadline until the last day of the winter market (February 2 this year) since January allows for registration and cancellation operations to improve the salary margin, something that cannot be done during the month of December leaving thus giving inferiority to the clubs and with consequent damage to the affected footballers.

If you request the precautionary measure, the Barça maybe I wouldn’t have to Elm and Victor for Wednesday the 8th in the semifinal of the Spanish Super Cup before him Athletic given the non-business dates with the Three Kings Festival on Monday the 6th. The lawsuit could not be filed until Tuesday the 7th and the resolution could wait a few days but it could be a reality before the final of the competition. Super Cup on Sunday the 12th, which Barça would play against Real Madrid either Majorca.
