Barcelona can retain playmaker Dani Olmo and forward Pau Víctor after a favorable ruling by Spain's sports authority.

On Thursday, it was confirmed that Barcelona can count on Dani Olmo and Pau Victor for the remainder of the 2024-25 season, with the Higher Sports Council (CSD) ruling in the Catalan club’s favour

Dani Olmo and Pau Victor will be eligible to play for Barcelona for the rest of the season, after Spanish authorities upheld the club's appeal to approve their registrations.

Dani Olmo's future at Barcelona is once again being called into question after La Liga determined the club did not have the salary space to register Olmo.

FC Barcelona president Joan Laporta has reiterated that the registrations of Pau Víctor and Dani Olmo were made in compliance with the regulations, following the decision of the Superior Council of Sports (CSD) to validate both players' licenses.

LaLiga say Barcelona have never had the salary space to register Dani Olmo or Pau Víctor with Spain's sports ministry (CSD) due to rule this week on whether the duo can play again this season.

The league has questioned whether the sale of VIP seating to Middle Eastern investors was properly accounted for.

That discrepancy sent alarm bells ringing, and La Liga now argues that as of December 31, 2024, Barca had no available funds or ‘Fair Play’ capacity to register Olmo and Victor. La Liga has since adjusted the club’s squad cost limit to exclude the €100m from the contentious VIP sale.
