Barca could finally register Dani Olmo and Pau Victor as Laporta has managed to secure €100m through an ingenious move. This will be a massive sigh of relief as the registration saga of these players seemed endless. But how has Barca managed to move closer in resolving this registration issue? Let’s find out.
Laporta Finally Triumphant? Barca’s Plan B
The FPP Battle And Barca’s Ongoing Struggles
On December 27, the court rejected Barca’s registration appeal. The issue arose from Barca’s inability to meet the Financial Fair Play (FPP) rules. Barca has had quite a feud with La Liga over this, and the club seems to be on the losing end as the year comes to a close. Barca claimed in court that the blocking of these players violates their right to work.
Despite Barcelona’s appeals, the court rejected them, leaving FC Barcelona with little time before the January transfer window.
The €100m Lifeline: How Barca Plans to Register Olmo
According to the latest reports from Marca, Barca has successfully secured €100m to solve this issue. Laporta has managed to raise these funds through sponsorships and sales. This will not only be enough to register the players, but also help Barca meet the 1:1 rule.
President Joan Laporta deserves recognition for this, as he has successfully gathered such a significant amount in a short period of time. Barca will now register their key midfielder before the deadline on 31st December, ensuring his participation in the remaining season.
Barca’s Strategic Move To Meet Deadline
Laporta consistently possessed a backup plan. He has reportedly made the necessary sales, including the sale of Barca Studios and VIP Box commitments. However, since these deals were still pending, the club was under time pressure.
Laporta has also reportedly been busy in the Middle East making deals with some Arab companies. He has finally been able to carve out a plan and raise the necessary funds.
Once the payment is received, Barca will proceed to submit the necessary paperwork to La Liga. The club has also consulted its lawyers to ensure their sponsorship deals help reach the 1:1 rule.
The best news for Culers before the year ends would definitely be the green light for Olmo, as the La Masia midfielder has shown his value in the past couple of months. We are on the brink of the registration deadline, and things look positive as Laporta has reportedly secured a favorable amount of cash.
