Barcelona duo Dani Olmo and Pau Victor remain unregistered as the saga surrounding the two players unfortunately continues.
The Catalan giants had been “optimistic” all would be resolved on Friday, and had been expected to provide an update on the situation, but none has been forthcoming.
Hansi Flick was quizzed about the situation at his pre-match press conference but made it clear that this is not his responsibility and also that he’s not at all happy about it either.
Dani Olmo’s agent has also spoken out but only to express his faith in Joan Laporta and Co, and to reiterate that the forward wants to stay at Barca.
In the meantime, reports in Spain claim that both La Liga and the RFEF have not changed their minds about the registration status of both players despite Barca’s latest attempts.
The club are said to have received the missing payment of €28 million for the sale of VIP boxes and expect now to return to the 1:1 rule.
All of the documentation has been sent to La Liga but that has not changed the situation of Olmo and Victor who were deregistered on January 1.
There’s talk now that the case could end up in court once again and also that some clubs are putting pressure on La Liga and the RFEF not to accept the registrations.
Some clarity or even an explanation from Barcelona would be very welcome right now but certainly does not look like it will happen today at least.
Meanwhile, Barcelona return to action on the pitch on Saturday in the Copa del Rey, with Olmo and Victor ineligible to play as things stand.
