لماذا لا تستطيع برشلونة الاستفادة من خدمات داني أولمو وباو فيكتور حالياً؟
Barcelona is currently facing significant challenges in registering players due to financial constraints and regulatory issues with LaLiga. The club recently received a €28 million payment from the sale of VIP boxes at Spotify Camp Nou, which they hoped would help them comply with LaLiga’s financial fair play (FFP) regulations. However, this payment arrived too late to meet the December 31 deadline for player registration.
Dani Olmo and Pau Víctor, who joined Barça last summer, are now at risk of not being able to play for the remainder of the season after their registrations were canceled by LaLiga. The club had previously managed to register these players temporarily by utilizing funds from injured players’ salaries but failed to secure a permanent solution before the deadline.
Despite efforts such as wage cuts and asset sales, Barcelona has struggled under a massive debt load inherited from previous management. They have been using various strategies—often referred to as “levers”—to navigate their financial difficulties while trying to register new signings.
The situation has led Barça officials to consider legal action in hopes of reversing LaLiga’s decision regarding Olmo and Víctor’s registrations. If they cannot resolve this issue soon, both players may remain unregistered for an extended period while still training with the team.
Barcelona is caught in a complex web of financial mismanagement and regulatory hurdles that could prevent key signings from contributing on the field this season.Barcelona has faced significant challenges in registering players due to financial constraints and regulatory requirements from LaLiga. The club’s recent maneuvers included securing bank guarantees and selling stakes in its subsidiaries to generate funds for player registrations.
In 2023, Barcelona successfully transferred academy star Gavi’s registration to the first team after obtaining a court order. However, the club encountered difficulties when trying to register new signings like Dani Olmo and Víctor, as they missed a crucial deadline despite receiving €28 million from a VIP box deal. This led to rejections from both LaLiga and the RFEF regarding their registration attempts.
The situation is complicated further by RFEF rules that prevent players from being re-registered with the same team more than once in a season without prior approval from LaLiga. As of now, Olmo has a clause allowing him to leave for free if unregistered but intends to stay at Barcelona, while Víctor also faces uncertainty with interest from other clubs.
Barcelona’s financial strategies over recent years have included selling portions of their television rights and assets like Barça Studios, which allowed them to bring in high-profile players such as Robert Lewandowski and Raphinha. Despite these efforts, they continue grappling with compliance issues related to player registrations amidst ongoing scrutiny of their financial practices by LaLiga.The text discusses the financial and registration challenges faced by FC Barcelona (Barça) in recent years, particularly regarding player registrations and asset sales.
