Dani Olmo returned to his former home Camp Nou for 60 million Euros 2 weeks ago. However, since then, the former RB Leipzig midfielder has not been able to have his first match for the Blaugrana. The biggest reason still comes from Barca being involved in too many financial troubles. If a bad scenario occurs, the La Roja star may not be registered as in the case of Vitor Roque.
La Liga sets salary limits for each team, which are based on the revenue of each club. After missing out on a €100 million sale of ownership of Barca Studios, Barca was owed this amount. Therefore, whenever there are new players, they are stuck with the registration fee with La Liga because they have not yet compensated for the deficit and there is no gap in the salary fund.
Captain Hansi Flick really hoped Dani Olmo would be registered before the Joan Gamper Trophy match with AS Monaco but failed. 5 days after Barca visited Valencia's Mestalla Stadium, things are still the same. Flick is very worried and Olmo is even more worried than his coach about his future at Camp Nou.
Right from the recent tour in the US, Barcelona has considered reducing salaries or selling people to legalize the Olmo case. In the past few months, the " Catalan giants" have parted ways with Marc Guiu, Estanis Pedrola, Julian Araujo and Chadi Riad. They earned 28 million Euros from these 4 deals. Oriol Romeu and Sergino dest left in a free transfer form, although they did not bring any change in transfer fees, but they expanded the space in the salary fund a little.
Currently, Barca is eager to sell Ronald Araujo. The Uruguayan centre-back is valued at quite a bit (over €60 million) and could be the perfect compensation for Dani Olmo. Another positive signal is that Ilkay Gundogan has just left the team and reunited with Man City. The German star is one of the three highest-paid players at Camp Nou.
According to The Athletic, Dani Olmo is not currently outraged but is not satisfied with the current situation. Before agreeing with Barca, Olmo knew the team's situation was quite difficult and believed that everything would be resolved soon. If he is still not on the field in the next rounds, he could create a big transfer scandal this summer.
Last season, President Joan Laporta had to play a cards game to borrow the Portuguese pair - Joao Felix and Joao Cancelo. The Camp Nou head and a number of club directors had to use personal bank accounts to mortgage. According to The Athletic, it was the third time they have done so to be able to register new players.
At this time, Barcelona needs to quickly resolve the procedures because if after August 30 (local time), they will no longer have the right to register for Olmo for the first leg of the season. After that, everyone had to wait until the 2025 winter market to register again.
If this scenario happens, Olmo may rumor as the top-notch figures at Camp Nou are still struggling to find a way to solve the financial problem.
