Barcelona could be at risk of losing summer signings Dani Olmo According to reports, if they are unable to raise the necessary funds to register players for the second half of the season, they will play for free in January.
Olmo joined Barcelona from RB Leipzig He has a six-year contract and was one of Spain’s standout players during their triumphant Euro 2024 campaign. The 26-year-old midfielder has made a good start to his Barcelona career, scoring six goals in 12 appearances so far this season.
However, Barcelona’s financial issues have come to the forefront once again as they struggle to register Olmo for a full season. The player is currently only registered for the first half of the season, and Barcelona must find a way to ensure his availability for the remainder of the season.
According to the report, Olmo’s contract may include a clause that would allow him to leave the club for free if he is not registered for the second half of the season. This will be a huge blow for Barcelona, ​​who invested £51 million to bring the Spain international to Camp Nou.
Barcelona are reportedly exploring various funding options, including a partnership with hospitality provider Aramark, which has resulted in around £34 million. The club is also reportedly considering selling the rights to the VIP box for the next 20 years in order to generate much-needed income.
president Joan Laporta had previously stated that there were no problems with Olmo’s registration, but this is not the first time Barcelona have faced such a challenge. Previously, the club was forced to part ways with club legend Lionel Messi due to the league’s salary cap restrictions.
As the January transfer window approaches, Barcelona will be under enormous pressure to find a solution to their financial woes and ensure that Olmo remains at the club for the second half of the season. Failure to do so could seriously undermine the team’s ambitions on and off the field.
