Barcelona had hoped for a repeat of the legal success that saw them able to sign Gavi in January 2023, but this time, La Liga actually put up a fight and managed to convince the referee to rule against the Blaugrana.
This means Olmo, unless something changes before the January transfer window, will not be registered when the second half of the season begins – a major concern for Barcelona as he is believed to have a clause in his contract that allows him to him to leave for free if he is not registered.
