Barcelona prepare decisive legal battle to register Dani Olmo and Pau Victor

Barcelona were recently handed a massive boost as La Liga granted them the return to the 1:1 rule, meaning the club can now operate normally in the market.

However, despite returning to the 1:1 rule, Barcelona are still not in a position to register Dani Olmo and Pau Victor.

Barcelona’s only recourse, therefore, is to seek a legal way of registering these two players, but the club have faced rejections in their last two attempts.

Barcelona set for another legal battle

As reported by SPORT, Barcelona are on the brink of another legal confrontation to secure the registration of Olmo and Victor.

Despite submitting all required documentation, including proof of a €60 million payment, La Liga has withheld approval, stating that the players, once deregistered, cannot play for Barcelona this season.

This disagreement has now been passed to the RFEF, which must decide if the current regulations allow for the re-registration of Olmo and Victor.

Barcelona argues for ‘force majeure‘, citing reasons that prevented them from submitting documents on time, and challenges the deadline of December 31, proposing that January should be considered for such registrations.

The RFEF, wary of future legal challenges from other La Liga clubs, has been cautious in its approach, though there’s an underlying acknowledgement that the situation might be unjust.

Barcelona are poised to launch legal action on Tuesday. They plan to request a precautionary measure from the Superior Sports Council (CSD), which would mandate both the RFEF and La Liga to comply.

This legal step is seen as vital for protecting the rights of the club and players against what Barcelona considers an unfair application of the rules.
