In recent years, Barcelona boss Joan Laporta has come up with one creative solution after another, to steer past demands for sustainable club management obstacles placed by La Liga. On January 31, it stopped.

European Championship star Dani Olmo was signed this summer for €55 million, registered for only the first part of the season due to Barcelona’s still too high wage budget, with Olmo having a clause on free agent status from January 1 if Barcelona fail to sign him.

There has been very hectic activity to secure extra income that will justify having Olmo in the salary budget for the rest of the season. Inside January, it has turned out that Barcelona have lost.

Dani Olmo has now been removed from La Liga’s website.

Although the player, who is being chased by several Premier League clubs, wants to stay with Barcelona, the situation is now completely different. Olmo is as of January 1 without a license to play for Bardelona and can, if he wishes, sign with other clubs. Free.
