“I am positive” – La Liga president gives his verdict on registration of Barcelona signing

Barcelona are gearing up for an important few weeks as they look to register their two new summer signings: Dani Olmo and Pau Victor.

Registering Olmo, in particular, is turning out to be a real challenge as the club must significantly lower their salary budget before they can register the Spaniard.

The club are currently working on a number of potential economic levers, in a desperate attempt to register Olmo.

Javier Tebas on Olmo registration

In the meantime, La Liga president Javier Tebas has recently offered his thoughts on Barcelona’s registration efforts.

Speaking at an event in Barcelona, Tebas, who has had his fair share of feuds with the club in the past, admitted that he is positive about Olmo’s registration.

“I hope and wish that Barcelona will achieve it, I am positive and optimistic. In the end, they always achieve it but we will see this time. Olmo is a player I really like,” he said (h/t Diario SPORT).

It must be noted that Barcelona have until December 31 to register Olmo, who was initially registered against the injured Andreas Christensen’s wages.

Therefore, both Olmo and Victor will not be eligible to play for Barcelona post January 1, until and unless the club manage to register them.

As mentioned earlier, there are multiple levers the club are looking at. A potential solution could be a financial guarantee provided by the bosses – a strategy that was employed even at the time of registering Joao Felix and Joao Cancelo last season.
