Barcelona and La Liga have released conflicting statements surrounding the future of attacking midfielder Dani Olmo, with the likes of Chelsea, LIVERPOOL and Arsenal all reportedly keeping a close eye on the Spanish star.
The 26-year-old, who helped Spain win Euro 2024, joined Barcelona from Leipzig in August but he was only registered for the first half of the season as Barcelona could not meet La Liga’s wage cap restrictions.
Barcelona registered Olmo after their squad was hit by long-term injuries, allowing the club to allocate a portion of wages to register the player. His four-month allowance expired at the end of December and the Spanish court rejected the club’s request to provisionally register him.
Barcelona issued a statement earlier on New Year’s Eve in which they claimed that they had requested a new registration licence for both Olmo and Pau Victor, having used a financial lever to register him initially, using the salary space freed up by the injured Andreas Christensen, but that registration has also expired.
Now, conflicting statements have been issued in regards to the Spain international’s future, Barcelona said: “FC Barcelona informs that it has applied for a new license for the players Daniel Olmo and Pau Víctor to the Spanish Football Federation (RFEF). Club would like to deny having requested or receiving any moratorium to any governing body for these inscriptions.”
La Liga claims that Olmo simply cannot be registered – Their statement read: “La Liga informs that, as of today, December 31, FC Barcelona has not presented any alternative that, in compliance with La Liga’s economic control regulations, would allow it to register any player from next January 2.”

Olmo is a world class player and Barcelona will try everything they can in order to keep hold of the Spaniard, but if he does come onto the market, he will be a wonderful signing for any Premier League side.
But we are also certain that he wants to stay at Barcelona and is hoping this will all get sorted.
