Barcelona strike €100m deal as Dani Olmo’s future nears resolution amid registration hurdles

LaLiga

Barcelona

Valencia

<p>As 2024 draws to a conclusion, Olmo and Barca team-mate Pau Victor do <a href="https://www.goal.com/en-gb/lists/dani-olmo-registration-denied-barcelona/bltcf7670c1afa3c25e" target="_blank">not have guaranteed first-team registration</a> from January 2025. However, <a href="https://www.marca.com/futbol/barcelona/2024/12/29/dani-olmo-entrena-normalidad-espera-inscripcion.html" target="_blank"><em>Marca</em></a> claims the Blaugrana reached an agreement to sell VIP boxes at the newly renovated Camp Nou to Middle Eastern investors for €100m.</p>

WHAT HAPPENED?

<p>Olmo only joined Barca in August for a <a href="https://www.goal.com/en-gb/lists/barcelona-reach-agreement-sign-dani-olmo-set-to-return-to-camp-nou-on-long-term-contract/blt0999999358e36ae3#csa22696ad516dc870" target="_blank">fee worth up to €62m (£51m/$64m) from RB Leipzig,</a> but after a judge rejected Barca's attempts to register him, they <a href="https://www.goal.com/en/lists/barcelona-execute-plan-dani-olmo-judge-rejects-registration/bltc216c9255ca2de9b" target="_blank">sought other avenues to get the deal done</a>. The report adds that this cash injection will allow the registration of both players and will return the club to the 1:1 rule to be able to sign players normally. That would be a massive breakthrough for the financially-troubled Catalan outfit.</p>

THE BIGGER PICTURE

<p>The 1:1 rule in La Liga allows teams, such as Barca, to spend all money raised from player sales or wage savings on new players. Up to this point, however, Hansi Flick's side have been operating under the 1:4 rule, which means they could only spend one euro for every four they saved or brought in. While they still have huge debts, their ability to address those will be greatly improved with the aforementioned financial deal.</p>

DID YOU KNOW?

<p>Barca reportedly launched a lawsuit against La Liga in a bid to register Olmo but, following this financial development, it is said they may withdraw from the case with the Court of First Instance.</p>
