Barcelona’s stormy season continues with their £51million summer signing, Dani Olmo potentially leaving for free in January.
The club is in a race against the clock to raise funds to keep hold of Olmo when the winter window opens. Olmo joined Barcelona from RB Leipzig on a six-year deal, even though he had issues being registered at the time.
The Catalans announced a collaboration with the club’s hospitality provider Aramark, a deal that reportedly brought in around £34m. However, they needed to raise more and eventually did so through their partnership with Nike.
It has been reported (via talkSPORT) that the 26-year-old is only registered for the first half of the season and his side have a battle on their hands to secure his services for the second half.

In total, he has played 12 times for his new side this season, scoring six goals and helping them to the top of the La Liga table.
It was also reported at the start of the season that Barca accepted a six-month registration for Olmo as a settlement, with the player himself agreeing to one year’s worth of registration when he joined.
President Joan Laporta is said to have claimed that there will be no issues for the club in terms of registering the player, but this is not the first time Barcelona have been in this situation.
