“The ruling also stresses that ‘the purpose of allowing additional spending is so that a long-term injury does not weaken the team’s competitiveness, not to use a long-term injury to allow the registration of players whose salaries exceed the limit, which is what FC Barcelona is attempting’.”<\/p>\n
Barcelona registered Olmo after their squad was hit by long-term injuries, allowing the club to allocate a portion of their wages to register the player.<\/p>\n
His four-month allowance will expire at the end of December and the Commercial Court number 10 of Barcelona rejected the club’s request to provisionally register him.<\/p>\n
Spanish media reported Barcelona have filed an appeal to the magistrate court which will be heard on Monday, a day before the deadline.<\/p>\n
La Liga said the decision not to register Olmo, who was a youth player at Barcelona but left for Dinamo Zagreb aged 16, was initially taken by its Budget Validation Body.<\/p>\n
It was then confirmed three times by its Financial Fair Play Committee, its Social Appeals Committee and by the Uefa Second Instance Licensing Committee of the Spanish Football Federation.<\/p>\n
Olmo, who helped Spain win the European Championship in the summer, has scored six goals in 15 appearances for Barcelona this season.<\/p>\n
Barcelona are third in La Liga, three points behind leaders Atletico Madrid.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n
