Barcelona nervously await the La Liga and the RFEF's verdict Dani Olmo and Hi Victorthe registration, after having submitted what they believe to be all the necessary documents to have them again available. However, they rely on an exception to the rule, with both players not registered, and the term has passed.
In theory, both players are able to leave the club on a free transfer on the last day of the transfer window, as without registration, they are no longer the owners of their rights. Despite the club's line that they do not contemplate any other scenario that does not end with the registration, Sport they say they are making contingency plans.

His information is that Barcelona offered Olmo and Victor a mutual termination of their contracts. However, they then agreed that the same contracts would start again on July 1, 2025, when the transfer window opens again. This will allow both players to find new teams for the next six months and continue playing, before returning to Barcelona – the Blaugrana are desperate not to lose them permanently.
This clearly requires the consent and willingness of both players to commit their future to Barcelona, giving up a lot of money in the process. Both could negotiate as free agents if they chose to end their deals unilaterally, which by law they could. There are conflicting reports on whether they will retain their wages, but most reports say they will be paid all of their contracts by Barcelona. It should be noted that Olmo's agent, Andy Bara, has publicly stated that they have not negotiated with anyone, and that his client's intention is to stay at the club.
