Barcelona’s problems persist. Olmo could be left out of the squad for the second half of the season
Barcelona managed to register Dani Olmo under the emergency registration rule due to the salary cap space freed up by Andreas Christensen’s injury. However, if the club does not secure funds to cover Olmo’s salary without using this rule by January, he will not be able to play in the second half of the season.
Details: This will be a major task for Barcelona’s management over the next four months. According to Mundo Deportivo, Olmo is not the only player in this situation. Pau Victor, signed from Girona for €2.5 million this summer, is also in a similar predicament.
Pau Victor has the advantage that if Barcelona finds funds for Olmo, they will likely be able to find space for him as well. His contract is for five years, so the club would only need to cover his salary and €500,000 of his transfer fee to register him. Otherwise, if Barcelona decides to return to the transfer market in January, Victor will be at the bottom of their priorities.
Recall: Barcelona officially registered Dani Olmo only 18 days after his transfer.
