Barcelona's Olmo suffers fresh registration setback

The future of Olmo and young forward Pau Victor at the Catalan giants has been on hold over a financial and administrative limbo that prevented their registration beyond 2024. Debt-laden Barcelona registered their star signing Olmo last summer without breaching La Liga's budget rules after defender Andreas Christensen was injured in August. The Blaugrana lost two court cases seeking an extension of the registrations to the end of the season and La Liga struck Olmo and Victor off the official squad list on January 1.
