Barcelona is currently facing financial troubles and it has left their midfielder, Dani Olmo, in a tough spot. Despite his talent and skills, the club has been unable to register him for the second half of the season. Olmo, who joined the team from RB Leipzig in August for a whopping £51 million, was only able to play for the initial stage due to LaLiga's wage restrictions.
However, even with the club's efforts to comply with LaLiga's economic control, they were unable to secure Olmo's registration for the rest of the season. In a joint decision by LaLiga and the Spanish football federation, Olmo and forward Pau Victor's registrations were rejected for Barcelona. The RFEF released a statement explaining their decision, citing regulations that prevent a player whose license is cancelled from getting a license for the same team in the same season.
Olmo, who was once a youth player for Barcelona before leaving for Dinamo Zagreb at 16, has been a key player for the team this season, scoring six goals in 15 appearances. Now, with Europe's top clubs on high alert, both Arsenal and Manchester City are said to be monitoring Olmo's situation closely.
While many believe that signing Olmo could make a significant impact for a team, Arsenal manager Mikel Arteta believes that it takes more than just one player to make a difference. He points out that simply signing someone does not guarantee a certain number of goals, and many factors come into play for a team to succeed. Despite that, Arteta is content with the players they currently have and believes that their goal-scoring record is more than enough to win the Premier League. However, he also acknowledges that in football, there is always room for improvement.
