Joan Laporta Knocks out Pau Víctor: Unexpected Twist at Barça Reveals the Truth

It’s not just Dani Olmo facing difficulties at Barça; Pau Víctor is also in a tough spot, even more so than his teammate. While Olmo has the option to terminate his contract if he’s not registered, the situation for Pau Víctor is entirely different: He would be forced to sit out for six months without playing.

Although several teams are interested in loaning Pau Víctor, the reality is that he can’t leave. Since he’s unregistered, his departure is not possible. In order for this to happen, he would first need to be registered with FC Barcelona, something that can no longer be done.

If the current situation holds, Dani Olmo could leave FC Barcelona by terminating his contract, while Pau Víctor would be forced to endure six months without playing for any team, adhering to the terms of his contract. While Pau Víctor has offers and this situation is expected to eventually be resolved, the outlook remains challenging for him.

As for Dani Olmo, his situation at Barcelona is becoming increasingly complicated. La Liga has already denied his registration since the deadline was missed, and the RFEF, where Tebas is vice president, has taken a similar stance. Unless there is an unexpected change, Olmo could opt to terminate his contract, potentially leaving the club with significant financial losses.

Olmo’s contract, signed last summer, included a clause allowing him to leave for free if he couldn’t be registered, which is the case now. This puts Olmo in a position to make a decision in the coming days, potentially walking away without any compensation for the club. With no shortage of offers, Olmo could secure a better salary elsewhere than what he currently earns at Barcelona.

The financial consequences for Barcelona have been severe. If Olmo leaves for free, the club could lose up to 203 million euros in a single transaction. These losses could only be avoided if Olmo agrees to remain on the sidelines for six months. Meanwhile, Pau Víctor would face a similar predicament, having to sit out for half a year.

The situation is far from easy. In the meantime, Laporta and his board are doing their best to reassure those affected by the circumstances.
