Netherlands legend Danny Blind has slammed Barcelona for "gambling" amid the Dani Olmo registration saga. Indeed, the Blaugrana have been unable to register the playmaker for the rest of the LaLiga season. Olmo is not the only affected player, with Barca also unable to register forward Pau Victor.
The situation took the footballing world by surprise, as both players could end up as free agents this January, despite being on long-term contracts at Camp Nou. Due to Barca's financial struggles, they temporarily registered Olmo in the first half of the season, despite signing him for €60 million from RB Leipzig in the summer.
However, they have so far been unable to re-register the two players, as this could see them run afoul of Financial Fair Play rules. Danny Blind spoke about the club's ongoing troubles on Ziggo Sport, questioning the club's decision to "gamble" (via TheEuropeanLad on X):
