Spanish FA and La Liga reject Barcelona request to register Dani Olmo and Pau Victor

The Royal Spanish football federation (RFEF) and La Liga have rejected Barcelona’s request to register Dani Olmo and Pau Victor, the RFEF said on Saturday.

While Olmo has had 11 appearances and scored five goals in the league this season, Victor has racked up 13 appearances, scoring twice and giving one assist.

In a joint statement, released by REFF and La Liga the Catalan club’s request has been turned down.

“The Monitoring Committee of the RFEF-LaLiga Coordination Agreement has met to address the request for a prior visa and processing of the federation licenses of the players Mr. Daniel Olmo Carvajal and Mr. Pau Víctor Delgado, submitted by FC Barcelona.

“After the requirements regarding LaLiga’s economic control were met by FCB on January 3, 2025, and once the relevant documentation was completed by the club, the LaLiga Budget Validation Body has decided to extend the FC Barcelona Sports Squad Cost Limit from the aforementioned date.

In this regard, having requested the licenses for the aforementioned players by FC Barcelona and after analyzing the applicable federation regulations, the Monitoring Committee agrees not to grant the prior visa or the definitive license requested by FC Barcelona for the players Mr. Daniel Olmo Carvajal and Mr. Pau Víctor Delgado in accordance with the literal interpretation of articles 130.2 and 141.5 of the General Regulations of the RFEF that prevent a player whose license is cancelled from, during the course of the same season, obtaining a license in the same club team to which he was already linked,” said the statement.

The statement also added that the Monitoring Committee agreed not to grant Olmo and Victor a definitive license.
