Hi Koora: FC Barcelona finds itself in an administrative dilemma that could result in huge financial losses, the reason being the slow registration of Spanish player Dani Olmo in the Spanish League tables.
The problem, which looked like a simple crisis, turned into a time bomb threatening the stability of the Catalan club.
At midnight on December 31, the deadline for Dani Olmo and his colleague Pau Victor ended, according to the rules of La Liga.
And the result? Dani Olmo is no longer registered, meaning he may not feature in the second half of the season.
In an urgent attempt to avoid this situation, the club applied to the Spanish Football Federation, hoping to extend the deadline until January 3.
But the danger does not stop there. If Barcelona cannot sign Olmo, there is a clause in his contract that allows him to leave for free, which could seriously damage the club. , not only on the sporting level, but also on financial levels. and public image.
“Sport” newspaper indicates that Barcelona could lose around 100 million euros.
These losses include 48 million euros, representing the player's salaries until 2030, as well as 55 million euros, the value of his transfer from Leipzig, of which the club only paid a small portion.
Therefore, Barcelona may face the dilemma of paying transfer fees for a player who left on a free transfer just six months after joining, without being able to sell to compensate for any losses.
This situation makes investment in the player completely negative, and confirms that the current crisis goes beyond football to become a financial and administrative disaster that could undermine the stability of the club.
