At this very moment in time, FC Barcelona are still mainly occupied with their registration dilemma concerning Dani Olmo and Pau Victor. Both of their summer signings currently remain unregistered with La Liga and are unable to feature for the club. However, with important games fast approaching, Barcelona must resolve this issue as soon as possible.
Currently, the Catalan club is waiting on the final verdict to arrive from the Royal Spanish Football Federation (RFEF) in regards to the new licenses that were requested by Barcelona for their two players. However, with both the RFEF and La Liga still working things out, La Blaugrana may not be too patient about this.
According to Mundo Deportivo, Barcelona is willing to proceed with legal action and taking matters to the Civil Court to request an injunction. The aim of the club is to secure said injunction in order to allow both Dani Olmo and Pau Victor to continue playing for the team while the matter gets resolved.
Simultaneously, the club will look to challenge the regulation that imposed the 31st December deadline for Financial Fairplay compliance. The reason behind this is that the club believes that the deadline should align with the closure of the January transfer window rather than the end of December, as clubs are able to make transfers and effectively alter their salary cap during January.
However, MD reports that if Barcelona are to end up proceeding with the injunction, both of the two unregistered players will likely have to miss the next two games. This would mean that they would miss the Copa del Rey clash against UD Barbastro, as well as the Spanish Super Cup encounter against Athletic Club in Saudi Arabia.
While they could be back in time for a hypothetical final if Barcelona manages to overcome Athletic Club, it remains to be seen if matters even progress to that point. For now, there is optimism in regards to the club’s ability to resolve the matter as soon as possible either way.
