Barcelona could potentially lose their £51 million summer signing, Dani Olmo, for free when the winter window opens in January.
Bet Football on Bet365Dani Olmo, who was a key player in Spain's Euro 2024-winning campaign this summer, joined Barcelona from German club RB Leipzig on a six-year deal for a £51 million summer signing, though Barcelona initially faced issues with registering the midfielder due to La Liga's strict salary rules, but once Andreas Christensen picked up a long-term injury, Olmo was added to the roster.
However, it was reported by Mundo Deportivo that the 26-year-old is only registered for the first half of the season, and his side once again has a fight on their hands to secure his services for the second half. If the Catalans are unable to register Olmo for the second half of the 2024-25 season, he may be allowed to leave as a free agent. However, Barcelona remains confident that they will successfully register him in the new year.
Barcelona's financial condition began to deteriorate in the 2014-2015 season when the team bought many expensive players. Swelling debt, mismanagement of funds by the board of directors, and the impact of the COVID-19 pandemic have made Barcelona's financial crisis even worse.
Olmo has played 12 times for Barcelona this season, scoring six goals and helping them to the top of the La Liga table.
