Dani Olmo’s future at Barcelona remains in the balance as the Catalan club pursues its legal battle to get the midfielder registered to play once more.

Olmo, a key figure as Spain won Euro 2024, is an important attacking weapon in Barcelona’s bid for silverware this season.
The club will take their case to Spain’s top sports court (CSD) in a bid to solve the situation, with club president Joan Laporta under fire from various opposition groups because of the debacle.
