Barcelona are scrambling to register Dani Olmo and Pau Victor in the next 36 hours, knowing that if they do not, neither will be able to play for the rest of the season. They are working on various plans to make that happen.
One of them is a court suspension of the ‘un-registering’ of Olmo and Victor, which they cite as an infringement on the players’ right to work. Their initial case was rejected, and they have now submitted it to a different court, with a decision expected today.
The other option is increasing their salary limit, which they would look to do through asset sales. The Blaugrana have already sent the contract documents to La Liga to ensure consummate swiftness in the registration of the players. The Catalan giants plan to sell the commercial rights to their VIP boxes at Camp Nou for the next 20 years to two Qatari businesses for around €100m say Marca, although other reports have put that figure at €120m.
La Liga have already received the documents for the sale of VIP seats at the Spotify Camp Nou. If they give the approval, Barcelona will be able to register Dani Olmo and Pau Victor. In addition, they will be under the 1/1 rule. @RamonFuentes74

However La Liga are keen to be extra careful with Barcelona. They will demand documents showing the money in Barcelona’s accounts before signing off on the change in their salary limit, and thus the registrations of Olmo and Victor. Barcelona believe that the deal could be tied up today, but not 100% done, although both sides have already signed thre main contract.
It makes sense that La Liga are careful with these deals, given the Barca Vision sales have seen the Blaugrana take in just €40m of the €200m that they were supposed to. Those deals have been burning a hole in their salary limit since, after a year in which the Blaugrana were due to make losses. A wider question worth asking is whether selling off assets for just one star signing is value for money.
“A wider question worth asking is whether selling off assets for just one star signing is value for money.”
It would be if that was the situation, but it isn’t. The deal (if approved by La Liga) allows for the registration of one star player, a promising young one and a return to the 1:1 rule, as well as helping to move along the extensions for Pedri and Gavi.

You need a Iobotomy.
Why is that, exactly?
Because every post you write is dumb.
That might stop you from posting further.
The writers on this site are often wrong or uninformed. You don’t get brownie points for defending them by insulting someone that points out an obvious error in their reporting.
Someone is taking themselves seriously and getting a high of his own farts.
Your own posts are full of uniformed whining and delusional rants.
You come off as a complete loser writing in vain and trying to correct reporters who couldn’t give a damn about you.
Is the F in John F a brittish slang for a cigarette? It certainly seems so.
Ah, personal attacks. The last refuge of a losing argument.
My posts are my opinions, which this platform allows for. If you don’t like them you should probably stop reading them. They seem to make you angry, and life’s too short to be angry at someone for opinions that have absolutely nothing to do with you.
