LaLiga explains why Dani Olmo has been registered and until when

The closing of the transfer market has made it clear that FC Barcelona faces significant challenges regarding Financial Fair Play (FFP). Javier Gómez, Corporate General Director of LaLiga and one of the main advocates for financial control in national football, addressed several relevant issues in his recent appearance, highlighting the situation of Barça and current regulations.

Guaranteed registration until December 31

One of the most discussed cases has been the registration of Dani Olmo in Barcelona's squad. Gómez explained that the player's registration is guaranteed until December 31. If Barça fails to generate enough registration capacity before that date, Olmo would not be able to remain registered from January 1 onwards. This is an example of how FFP rules directly impact clubs' sports planning.

Gómez also addressed the issue of long-term injuries, such as those that have affected players like Andreas Christensen and Ronald Araujo. Until a few years ago, clubs could unregister an injured player and register him again upon recovery, outside the transfer windows. However, the rules have changed, and now, if a player gets injured, his club can register another player for 80% of the injured player's cost, as long as it doesn't exceed the salary cap. If the situation is not rebalanced before the season ends, the club will have its ability to sign reduced in the following one.

Regarding the possibility of changing the Financial Fair Play rules, Gómez was firm: he does not see a need for changes. He argues that these regulations have been crucial for LaLiga's economic sustainability, recalling how in 2012 many clubs were in critical financial situations. Thanks to FFP, the financial situation of the teams has been stabilized.

Finally, Gómez clarified that there have been no specific pressures from other clubs to be stricter with Barça. Although there are always complaints and comments among teams about each other's transfers, LaLiga strives to apply the rules impartially.
