Lawyers reassured as Barcelona guarantee smooth registration process for new signing

As reported by Mundo Deportivo, Barcelona are actively working to ensure Dani Olmo’s official registration with the club. 

For that matter, the club is focused on reassuring both Olmo and his family about the player’s future with Barcelona. In fact, on Thursday, Olmo’s father, Miquel Olmo, and a sports law expert met with Barcelona officials to discuss the situation. 

During this meeting, the club confirmed that Olmo could continue playing without any issues at the moment.

What is Barcelona’s plan?

Barcelona aim to secure Olmo’s services with a full contract extension lasting until 2030, to avoid repeating any potential registration problems in the future. 

For that, the club is working on resolving all legal aspects, ensuring that there are no obstacles that could disrupt Olmo’s future at the club. 

One of the key steps in this process involves securing the financial aspects, particularly in relation to potential income sources, like the sale of VIP seats at the Spotify Camp Nou. 

This long-term revenue strategy is seen as vital for supporting the club’s future financial stability, which is important for registering players like Olmo.

What’s the situation like?

Currently, Olmo’s contract is only valid until December 31, but Barcelona’s goal is to finalize a deal that extends until 2030. 

To safeguard the registration process, President Joan Laporta confirmed on Tuesday that Barcelona had filed a lawsuit in the Commercial Court number 10 in Barcelona. 

A hearing is scheduled for Monday, where Barcelona and La Liga will present their arguments. Barcelona believes Olmo should be registered as a precautionary measure, just as they did for Gavi, who was successfully registered after a similar legal process. 

Barcelona hope to receive a ruling on Olmo’s situation by Friday, December 27. If the case is not resolved in their favour, Olmo will be released, and the club will be required to pay his contract until 2030.
