Barcelona are nervously awaiting the resolution of a court case on Friday that will dictate whether they can sign Dani Olmo and Pau Victor. They will not be able to play for the rest of the season if they cannot be registered before the end of the month.
The matter is of particular importance in the case of the star signature Dani Olmowho joined for €55m in the summer from RB Leipzig. He has a clause in his contract that means if he is not registered then he can leave for free – he was registered for the first half of the season due to the emergency injury rule.

Recent reports from England have stated that Manchester City and Arsenal are watching the situation carefully, in case they can steal a deal. The fact that his agent Andy Bara was present at Manchester City's draw with Everton fueled more rumors about Olmo's future. However, when asked by DM, as mentioned by MENBara confirmed that he was just on vacation.
Barcelona assured that they could register Olmo and Victor, and they plan to sell more assets to do so, if the court case has not been in their favor. The Blaugrana plan to sell a package to market their VIP boxes in the renovated Camp Nou for 20 years, for between 100 and 200 million euros.
