It is common knowledge that FC Barcelona have not been going through easy times in recent years, but what has been happening in recent days at ‘Can Barça’ is something we have rarely seen in the world of football. ‘Something unexplainable’, as they would say in Málaga.

As if that wasn’t enough, to the lack of money to sign in January and the poor results with which the team ended 2024, has now been added the complications that the club has encountered when trying to register Dani Olmo and Pau Víctor.
The club had until December 31st to find a financing formula that would allow the registration of both players, but as confirmed by the league, the Catalan side did not meet the requirements of financial fair play to obtain the two players’ federal registration.
Olmo is one of Hansi Flick’s most important players, having played in 11 games, so his absence would be a significant loss for the German coach.

This whole situation has provoked detractors of Laporta, who they accuse of mismanagement that has led them to be in this situation, although, according to the Culé board, it has been LaLiga who has prevented the registration, despite having all the documents in order.
The truth is that the disaster could be huge, since FC Barcelona paid 60 million in the summer for the player and, although the CSD has just granted the precautionary registration of Dani Olmo and Pau Victor, if the situation is not resolved in a favorable way for the interests of FC Barcelona before April 7th, which is the deadline for the CSD to announce the final resolution, the ‘Blaugranas’ will have to release the player, which would mean a great loss in the needy Catalan coffers.
In the midst of all this ‘circus’, what could be a new bombshell has been uncovered. According to reports from Italy, Juventus are interested in acquiring the services of Ronald Araújo. The defender has just returned from a long injury that has kept him away from the pitch since the Copa América last summer.

Now, the Iñigo Martínez-Cubarsí pairing seems immovable and the Uruguayan is looking to play an important role, something that, with Flick, is not assured. Everything suggests that Araújo’s departure would be in the form of a loan move, as FC Barcelona have high hopes for him and would not be willing to let one of the team’s key players go so easily.
In short, the winter transfer market will be a busy one in the offices of FC Barcelona, who will try to resolve the situation with Dani Olmo and Pau Víctor and, if the economy allows it, bring in a player who can improve what they already have in the team.
