Barcelona has received a much-needed boost as the Spanish Sports Council (CSD) granted precautionary measures allowing players Dani Olmo and Pau Victor to feature for the club temporarily. The development comes as the Catalan giants grapple with financial challenges that initially prevented the registration of the duo before the end-of-year deadline.
Olmo and Victor, who joined Barcelona during the summer transfer window, were initially issued temporary licenses, but the club failed to complete their registration due to ongoing financial constraints. This left their eligibility to participate in official matches hanging in the balance.
With this ruling, Barcelona now has the green light to deploy both players while they work on resolving the financial and administrative hurdles that delayed their formal registration. The decision is a significant relief for the club as it seeks to bolster its squad depth in the midst of a competitive season.
Barcelona’s struggles with compliance to La Liga’s strict financial regulations have been a recurring theme, limiting their ability to register new signings or renew existing contracts without cutting costs or generating additional revenue. This temporary resolution provides breathing room as they navigate these challenges.
The availability of Olmo and Victor adds quality and versatility to Barcelona’s roster, giving coach Xavi Hernandez more options to manage the team’s demanding fixture schedule. As the club works on its long-term financial recovery, this decision highlights the critical importance of administrative flexibility in maintaining competitive balance.
