The organizers of La Liga announced that Barça does not meet the financial conditions for both players to continue participating in the Spanish Championship and had not "presented an alternative" that would allow their registration in accordance with the economic control regulations.
On the other hand, Danish defender Andreas Christensen, who was injured during the first part of the season, has made his return to the available Barça squad for La Liga.
Burdened by debts, the Catalan club had signed Olmo until December 31, 2024, at 80% of Christensen's salary, thanks to an exception that allows clubs to replace players absent for long periods.
The potential free departure of the Spanish international, acquired for around €60 million, would be a significant sporting and financial blow for Barça, who currently sit third in La Liga and second in their Champions League group stage.
