What Barcelona’s Dani Olmo blow means for summer transfer plans | OneFootball

An insight into the potential knock-on effect of today’s La Liga ruling against Barcelona has on Wednesday evening been provided.

Barca, as a club, have of course found themselves front and centre in the media headlines across all of Spain once more across the day to date.

And, unfortunately for the Blaugrana, as much comes for less than positive reasons.

As confirmed in a statement released by La Liga, cited by Mundo Deportivo, the Spanish football powers that be have ‘invalidated the financial fair play operation that allowed FC Barcelona to register Pau Víctor and Dani Olmo’.

This comes after the Camp Nou board failed to include the needed €100 million from the sale of the club’s VIP stadium seats in their latest budget.

The respective registrations of summer signings Olmo and Víctor, as a result, have been thrown back up in the air.

What, though, does as much mean for Barcelona’s summer transfer plans?

As revealed by Spanish football insider Guillem Balague, it could have an absolutely detrimental effect on the ability of Deco and co. to secure reinforcements to Hansi Flick’s squad:

‘Barcelona no longer meets fair play requirements, won’t be able to sign players unless they sell, and La Liga plans to report the auditor to Spain’s Institute of Accounting and Auditing for malpractice.’
