His <a href="https://www.goal.com/en-gb/lists/dani-olmo-barcelona-debut-la-liga-give-green-light-new-signing-registration/bltb323556d23a7a892" target="_blank">registration was granted due to Andreas Christensen's long-term injury</a> but as the defender nears a return, <a href="https://www.mundodeportivo.com/futbol/fc-barcelona/20241227/1002377501/proximo-movimiento-barca-lograr-inscripcion-dani-olmo.html" target="_blank">Mundo Deportivo</a> state the Spain international may not be able to play in the second half of the season.</p>

WHAT HAPPENED?

<p>The report adds that Judge Ignacio Fernandez de Senespleda, head of the Commercial Court 10 of Barcelona, rejected the Blaugrana's registration bid for Olmo. As a result, Barca will launch a new lawsuit against La Liga in a Court of First Instance on Monday, December 30. If they are unable to register the attacking midfielder, reports suggest he could <a href="https://www.goal.com/en-gb/lists/dani-olmo-agent-manchester-barcelona-financial-problems/blt8bd737b15f5491aa" target="_blank">leave for free in the January transfer window</a> - six months on from signing for a fee worth up to £51.5 million ($64.7m/€62m).</p>

THE BIGGER PICTURE

<p>Mundo Deportivo states that Barca will argue that all the registration rules are invalid because they are 'regulated by a body that they consider not competent', such as the Delegate Commission of La Liga.</p>

DID YOU KNOW?

<p>Time is running out for Barcelona to register Olmo, who has made 15 appearances for the Catalan outfit so far, for the second half of the campaign. They have been set a deadline of Tuesday, December 31, to get this over the line.</p>
