More drama – Several clubs threaten La Liga with legal action if Dani Olmo registration is accepted
Just as reports emerged that FC Barcelona were growing very confident and optimistic about the registration of Dani Olmo and Pau Victor in La Liga, more drama follows in the saga.
Just a while back, we reported that Barça were very certain about Olmo’s registration with the agreement for the sale of the VIP seat packages at Spotify Camp Nou allegedly being approved.
La Liga clubs spring into action
However, now SPORT reports that several La Liga clubs are threatening legal action against Javier Tebas and the league if they accept Olmo’s registration now.
While some advocate for granting clearance to allow the players to participate in upcoming matches, others push to uphold the current restrictions placed on Barcelona by La Liga, which would prevent the duo from playing for the remainder of the season.
It must be noted that teams like Sevilla, Atletico Madrid, and Athletic Club played a role in Olmo’s registration not being accepted by La Liga after Barça closed a multi-million deal with Nike.
Now, several clubs argue that Barça should not receive preferential treatment, setting a controversial precedent.
Several club executives across La Liga argue that the Blaugrana should not benefit from leniency, particularly in light of precedents where such flexibility was not extended to others.
These clubs are collaborating to file a lawsuit aimed at declaring the Spanish league’s competition invalid if La Liga alters its current stance on Barcelona’s registrations. Such an outcome could severely damage the league’s reputation.
The deteriorating relationships between Barcelona president Joan Laporta and other La Liga clubs have exacerbated the situation.
This rift, developed over time, has left the Catalans without a strong representative in Madrid to manage these relations – a role that has been unfilled since Mateu Alemany’s departure.
Some rival clubs view this moment as an opportunity to hold Barcelona accountable. They see the situation as a culmination of financial mismanagement at the club and are prepared to act decisively to ensure that the Catalan giants do not receive any undue advantages.
