Several Spanish clubs have allegedly threatened La Liga with legal action if Barcelona is granted permission to register Dani Olmo and Pau Victor.
Barcelona’s management is optimistic that La Liga will approve Olmo and Victor’s registrations. They cite the €100 million (£83m/$104m) generated from the sale of VIP boxes at Camp Nou as proof of meeting the league’s financial criteria. However, with the registration deadline having passed, the final decision remains in question.
As reported by Sport, clubs like Sevilla, Athletic Club, and Atletico Madrid have increased pressure on La Liga President Javier Tebas to review Barcelona’s financial practices closely. The clubs have raised concerns about potential favouritism towards the Catalan side, urging that league rules be applied strictly without exceptions.
Reports indicate that a group of La Liga clubs is ready to take legal action if Barcelona’s player registrations are approved. Allegations of unfair treatment have emerged, with rival clubs threatening to file a motion to void the league competition. They argue that similar situations in the past were met with stricter enforcement, and allowing leniency now would compromise the league’s integrity.
Wider tensions within Spanish football are highlighted by the standoff between Barcelona, La Liga, and rival clubs. The resolution of this conflict may set a standard for how financial regulations are enforced in the future. The stakes are especially high for Joan Laporta because not obtaining the registrations might cast more doubt on his leadership and Barcelona’s financial management
