Some Spanish players from Barcelona were reportedly ready to go on strike if Dani Olmo wasn't registered with LaLiga this season. The case was provisionally resolved after the Higher Sports Council (CSD) granted Barca the necessary precautionary measure to register him on January 8, 2025.
Dani Olmo signed for Barcelona for a reported €62 million from RB Leipzig in the summer of 2024. The Spaniard was temporarily registered until December 2024 owing to Andreas Christensen's injury. However, the Catalans faced major trouble in re-registering Olmo and fellow player Pau Victor with LaLiga at the end of 2024. The problems arose from LaLiga's strict Financial Fair Play guidelines and Barcelona's well-known economic condition.
After facing multiple rejections from LaLiga, RFEF (Spanish Football Federation), and two courts, Barcelona failed to register Olmo and Victor within the given deadline of December 31. However, the CSD's ruling in favor of the club allows Dani Olmo and Pau Victor to play for the Catalans once again.
