Dani Olmo's Barcelona career is in jeopardy just five months after the midfielder joined the club as the Catalans' blockbuster summer signing.
Olmo's time at Barcelona has been full of obstacles. The Spaniard completed a $63m transfer from RB Leipzig to the Spanish giants in August and signed a six-year contract. Olmo was fresh off winning Euro 2024 with Spain and set to begin a whole new chapter in La Liga.
Except Barcelona's highly publicized money problems got in the way immediately. The 26-year-old was forced to miss the Catalans' first two matches of the 2024–25 season because his new club could not officially register him due to their financial limitations.
Barcelona eventually registered Olmo as an emergency injury signing after Andreas Christensen suffered a serious injury to his Achilles. However, the loophole was only void through Dec. 31; if Olmo wanted to keep playing for Barcelona, the club would have to once again register him before the new year.
