Barcelona reportedly failed in their latest attempt to re-register Dani Olmo and Pau Victor.
Leading Catalan newspaper El Mundo Deportivo claims that the club’s attempt to request a ban on the registration of the two players failed at the Commercial Court 10 in Barcelona this morning.
The financially troubled European giants will launch another legal challenge to La Liga – Barca claim the organization is not competent – on Monday, but defeat could see two players available for free transfers in January.
That will alert a host of top clubs with attacking midfielder Olmo, a £50m summer signing from RB Leipzig, likely to attract a lot of interest.
Olm’s agent in Manchester
The Spain international was a key figure in the country’s European Championship win over the summer and his agent Andy Bara was believed to be in Manchester for City’s draw against Everton on Boxing Day.
Bara told the Mail he was there on holiday, but that has been linked to the theory that Olmo would be a natural fit for ailing champions City, especially with Pep Guardiola admitting he is looking for reinforcements in January due to a long injury list.
Manchester United and Arsenal are also believed to have an interest in Olmo.
Barca’s financial woes continue
Today’s decision is another blow to Barcelona as they continue to flout La Liga’s financial rules.
El Mundo reports that the club have already explored other ways of raising revenue that would boost their hopes of being able to re-register Olmo and Victor, including selling VIP seats at the revamped Camp Nou.
