Barcelona’s attempt to register midfielder Dani Olmo has faced a setback as the commercial court number 10 in Barcelona has dismissed the club’s appeal. The Catalan giants now have until 31st December to complete the registration process. In response to the court’s decision, Barcelona plans to file a new lawsuit against La Liga in the Lower Court on 30th December, according to @mundodeportivo.
Background on Dani Olmo’s Transfer
Dani Olmo, a 26-year-old midfielder, rejoined Barcelona after a protracted transfer saga, as reported on 9th August 2024. His return was seen as a strategic move to bolster the team’s midfield capabilities. However, the registration process has encountered multiple hurdles, with the club initially announcing his official registration with La Liga on 27th August 2024.
Injury and Registration Challenges
Shortly after his signing, Olmo faced a setback due to a thigh injury, which sidelined him for 4-5 weeks, as reported on 16th September 2024. Despite these challenges, Barcelona has been persistent in their efforts to secure his registration, with the latest court ruling adding another layer of complexity to the situation.
