Barcelona boss Hansi Flick has offered an update on the ongoing registration saga involving Dani Olmo. La Blaugrana kicked off 2025 with a 4-0 Copa del Rey win away at fourth-tier Barbastro ahead of travelling to Saudi Arabia for the Spanish Super Cup in the coming days.

Barcelona will be taking La Liga to court yet again after the league has ruled that Dani Olmo and Pau Victor can't be registered until the summer due to Barcelona not having enough space under the La Liga salary cap following the expiration of their injury exemptions.

Barcelona have not given up hope that Dani Olmo will be able to play for them in the second half of the season despite missing the January 1 deadline to register him with La Liga. A statement from La Liga on Tuesday night said Olmo and his team-mate Pau Victor have subsequently been deleted from the club’s registered squad with the league.

Barcelona coach Hansi Flick said he remains confident that Dani Olmo and Pau Víctor will be able to play for the club again this season.

After arriving in the summer in a £50m move from RB Leipzig, Olmo eventually became a key component of Flick's side that currently sit third in LaLiga .

The Spanish Football Federation have officially rejected Barcelona's attempts to register Dani Olmo and Pau Victor in a momentous decision.
