Hansi Flick has said that he is “not happy with the situation”. Barcelona Try and register. Dani Olmo And Pow Victor For the second half of the season.
Both Olmo and Victor were unregistered. La Liga Wednesday after Barça Failed to match Dec. 31 is the deadline to prove they comply with the league’s Financial Fair Play rules.
Barça Keep fighting To register the pair, who both signed permanent deals last summer, neither is available for selection before Saturday. Copa del Rey Bind against 4th level Barbastro.
“If I’m being honest, I wasn’t happy with the situation,” Flick said at a news conference Friday when asked about Olmo and Victor.
“Also the players are not happy with the situation, but it is what it is and we have to accept it. We are professionals, we have to play football, I have to coach and the club has to do its job.
“I have confidence with the club that they do their job and I do mine. The confidence is there. I’m always positive about things, but we have to wait for the decision.”
This is the latest in a series of Barça registration problems. From 2021 onwards, players have had to take a pay cut, future earnings from television rights have been sold and board members have provided bank guarantees to register new raises.
“I don’t think about the future, not even the past, just for now,” Flick added when asked if the constant drama could deter players from joining the club.
“I spoke with Dani and Pau and the situation for them, you can imagine, is not easy. But they are positive, they want to play for this club.
“We’ll see when the decision is made how it is and then I’ll think about it. But I’m positive at the moment. I know it’s not easy, but in the end I’m positive.”
Despite missing the December 31 deadline, a source told ESPN Barça that work is underway to register Olmo and Victor through the €100 million sale of VIP boxes, bringing them into compliance with La Liga’s economic regulations. Help will come.
The source added that Barca would not offer any further clarifications until the pair were registered, despite previously promising to explain everything on January 3, and that the club would consider such a scenario. “Not considering” a letter in which they are not registered.
However, La Liga said earlier this week that Barca had not provided sufficient guarantees that they were able to meet the terms as they missed the deadline.
Barça have also applied for new licenses for Olmo and Victor with the Royal Spanish Football Federation [RFEF]Although the rules state players cannot be re-registered with the same team a second time in the same season.
A source within the RFEF also told ESPN that “they cannot process any licenses without the prior approval of La Liga.”
The saga has thrown the immediate futures of Olmo and Victor into serious doubt given the possibility that they won’t be able to play for Barca again until next season.
Olmo’s contract includes a clause that would allow him to go for free if he is not registered, sources told ESPN. Spain International is not considering enabling it.
Another option could be to leave for six months and return in the summer, although Olmo’s agent says he is not listening to any offers at the moment.
“It’s a stressful situation for Dani as it would be for any other player, but he’s trying to stay calm,” Andy Barra told reporters.
“I can confirm that we are not negotiating with any club. Dani is a Barcelona player and he wants to be a Barcelona player. He made a big effort in his life to stay at Barcelona. This was his wish for a long time.
“Barcelona is the first and last option. We are not thinking about other options. I believe in the president. [Joan] Laporta et al [sporting director] Deco I think they will find a solution and Dani will be registered.
