Barcelona will seek a precautionary measure from the Ministry of Sports (CSD) on Tuesday to keep Dani Olmo and Pau Victor recorded for the rest of the season. However, they will do it via the emergency route as they feel it gives them a better chance of securing that precautionary registration.
Olmo and Victor are currently free to sign with other clubs, and as things stand, unable to play for the rest of the season for Barcelona. The League and the RFEF rejected his request for licenses on Saturday, and it means that the Catalan side will try to secure a suspension of that move first through the CSD and then via the courts.

According to Sportthey will apply for an emergency suspension of Olmo and Victor who are not registered, rather than just a suspension, both are precautionary measures. The nuance between the two is that with the former, the case will be treated as an emergency, and the Blaugrana can expect an answer from the courts in a day or two. Beyond the speed of the response, the advantage is that Barcelona will present its arguments, and because it is an urgent case, the League and the lawyers of the RFEF will not be able to present a counterargument, as they have done in the previous two. court decisions at the end of December.
Whether Barcelona wins the case is essentially redundant, as they only need the precautionary measure to keep Olmo and Victor registered until the summer. The preventive suspension of the cancellation would be granted on the basis that the players could be harmed by the time taken to resolve the case if it goes in favor of Barcelona, so they will be allowed to play in the interim.

Barcelona believe that they have a chance of success, although they also admit that it is unusual for the CSD to contradict the RFEF in such cases. If Barcelona fails to secure his preventive suspension of the matter through the CSD, they will be left to pursue the matter in court, but will call Olmo and Victor for their Spanish Supercup trip to Saudi Arabia in the hope it is granted.
However, the fall has become a matter of state for Barcelona, as the saying goes. The opposition to President Joan Laporta asked for his resignation, while on Sunday it was revealed that AC Milan had made an approach for Dani Olmothat could see him out for six months. Olmo and Victor have both expressed a desire to stay at the club, but whether they can play football is out of their hands, and Barcelona's at the moment.
