Real Madrid not looking to pile further misery on Barcelona for strategic reasons | OneFootball

FC Barcelona are facing challenges with the registration of two of their summer signings, Pau Víctor and Dani Olmo. The club is racing against time to resolve the issue, while La Liga appears reluctant to approve the registrations.

Some Spanish clubs are reportedly trying to pressure La Liga into blocking the registrations. According to SPORT, both Atlético Madrid and Sevilla are opposed to allowing Barcelona to register the two players.

Meanwhile, the report states that Real Madrid are not among the clubs opposing La Liga’s approval of Dani Olmo and Pau Víctor’s registrations at Barcelona. Los Blancos intend to maintain a neutral stance on the matter.

According to reports, the sentiment within Real Madrid is that ‘Barcelona must be left alone; they are our partners, not a rival.’ It is certainly surprising to hear Los Blancos express this about their Catalan counterparts, but it’s clear that there is much more to the situation than meets the eye.

Barcelona remain the sole ally supporting Real Madrid President Florentino Pérez’s Super League project. Los Blancos’ leadership is well aware of how to navigate this situation carefully to avoid antagonizing their league rivals.

Furthermore, Real Madrid arguably have the strongest squad in La Liga on paper by a significant margin, and taking a stance against Barcelona in this registration saga would not provide them with any sporting advantage.

What Sevilla and Atlético Madrid, who are opposing Barcelona in this situation, need to understand is that it doesn’t take long for the shoe to be on the other foot. What La Liga is trying to do here is set a precedent.

It remains to be seen if Barcelona fight off all this external turbulence to get these registrations over the line. Let’s wait and see how things go forward with respect to this saga and if the Catalan club can reach a favorable resolution.
