The FC Barcelona is going through crucial days off the field. In the upcoming days, the immediate future of Dani Olmo and Pau Víctor will be decided, as their cases are being analyzed by the Higher Council of Sports (CSD). The organization must resolve the appeal filed by the Catalan club regarding the exclusion of both players from the official registry by LaLiga and the Royal Spanish Football Federation (RFEF) before Sunday, April 6.
Although the appeal was submitted on January 7, the CSD provisionally suspended the measure while reviewing the file. The deadline for a final response expires next Monday; however, since it is a legally non-business day, the resolution will be known this weekend.
Dani Olmo's case is particularly sensitive for Barça. Despite the player being injured since March 27 and unavailable against Betis, his contractual and sports situation remains uncertain. The CSD previously argued that preventing him from competing would cause irreparable harm both personally and to the club and even to the Spanish national team.
The 3 possible outcomes
According to MundoDeportivo, there are three possible outcomes: maintaining their registration until the end of the season, confirming their deregistration, or the club having to appeal to the ordinary court, as it successfully did in the Lewandowski case.
Barça definitely wants to avoid losing Olmo at all costs. Beyond the sports aspect, the club argues that the situation violates the player's professional rights. This week will be crucial to know the final outcome.
