Barcelona
\nBarcelona has received provisional approval from the Spanish National Sports Council (CSD) to register Dani Olmo and Pau Victor, pending a final decision on the club\u2019s appeal against La Liga and the Spanish Football Federation (RFEF).
\nThis decision allows the players to compete temporarily while the council reviews Barcelona\u2019s case against La Liga and RFEF\u2019s initial rejection of their registration.
\nJoan Laporta, Barcelona\u2019s president, was recorded by Catalan public TV TV3 celebrating the decision, which came too late for Olmo and Victor to participate in Wednesday\u2019s Spanish Supercopa semi-final against Athletic Club.
\nBarcelona went on to win by 2-0, meaning the pair will now be eligible for selection in Sunday\u2019s final against either Real Madrid or Mallorca.
\nThe Spanish Football Federation and La Liga had earlier rejected Barcelona\u2019s request to register Olmo and Victor on Saturday, citing the club\u2019s failure to meet wage cap restrictions.
\nThe CSD\u2019s precautionary measure suspends this decision and maintains the validity of the players\u2019 licenses until the appeal process concludes.
\nIn a statement, the CSD clarified that the provisional measure would remain in effect until a final resolution is reached. La Liga acknowledged receipt of the resolution on Wednesday but expressed its disagreement and is reviewing the decision for potential appeals.
\nOlmo, a \u20ac60 million signing from RB Leipzig, and Victor, a \u20ac3 million signing from Girona, were only registered for the first half of the season under special exemptions due to Barcelona\u2019s financial constraints.
\nBarcelona reportedly generated additional revenue by selling VIP boxes at their under-construction stadium, but the paperwork for these measures was submitted after La Liga\u2019s deadline.
\nLa Liga stated that although Barcelona met the financial requirements after the expiration of the players\u2019 licenses, existing regulations prohibit re-registering players at the same club within the same season.
\nThe club has argued that the rule is outdated and should not apply given their compliance with financial fair play rules during the transfer window.
\nThe pair will be available for selection until the CSD delivers a definitive ruling on Barcelona\u2019s appeal, the deadline for which is 7th April 2025.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
