Barcelona ‘almost certain’ La Liga will register Dani Olmo and Pau Victor after heavyweight meeting

Barcelona are convinced that they will be able to resolve their registration issues with Dani Olmo and Pau Victor in the next 24 hours, having seen La Liga unregister both players on their website this Wednesday.

President Joan Laporta, Vice-President Rafa Yuste, Treasurer Ferran Olive and Director Joan Soler met at the club offices on Thursday for an encounter that lasted almost four hours, as per Marca, as they tried to resolve the matter. They came out of that meeting optimistic, with the same source saying they believe that they will have Olmo and Victor registered before Hansi Flick’s pre-match press conference at 13:00 CEST on Friday.

That information is corroborated by Sport, who say that Barcelona are ‘almost certain’ that La Liga will accept the sale of VIP boxes at Camp Nou, and thus increase their salary limit sufficiently to register Olmo and Victor again. They consider that the entire deal has been ‘accredited’, and that the €100m will be added to their accounts, in a deal that will run for the next 20 years with two as of yet unnamed companies from Qatar and Dubai.
