During the summer, Barcelona struggled to sign Dani Olmo following his big money move from RB Leipzig. He missed the first two games of the season, against Valencia and Athletic Club, because there was not enough salary space to register him in the League, but Andreas Christensen's long injury ended up making it possible.
Hansi Flick intends to keep Iñaki Peña as the starting goalkeeper, while the arrival of veteran Wojciech Szczęsny is set to provide backup. However, Peña needs to stay at the top of his game, because the Polish goalkeeper will be very eager to compete. @sergidejuan9

Christensen was not registered by Barcelona to allow the registration of Olmo, but it is only valid until the end of 2024. From January 1, the Catalans would need to find a way to re-register him – but as it turns out, I'm about to find a solution.
Ace for MDBarcelona are expected to cancel Marc-Andre Ter Stegen after his season-ending knee injury, and 80% of the German goalkeeper's salary can be used to help re-register Olmo. According to the report, it is not only enough for this, but also for the upcoming signing of Wojciech Szczesny.
It is only a temporary solution for Barcelonaand they desperately need to continue to improve their finances in the coming months. However, this will at least allow there to be no more problems with Olmo's registration for this season.
