As Barcelona are still unable to register Dani Olmo and Pau Victor with the January transfer window swinging open, uncertainty grows about what the club may do moving forward. While they can take the matter to the Higher Sports council (CSD) in order to attempt to register the players via a court order, damage has already been done.

La Liga have made their final decision over Dani Olmo's Barcelona registration. Olmo, who joined Barca from RB Leipzig for £51 million last summer, was registered as a special exemption only for the first half of the season as the club could not meet La Liga 's wage cap restrictions.

Raphinha has said that players “would probably think twice” about coming to Barcelona after Dani Olmo and Pau Victor were de-registered from their first-team squad. On January 4, Barcelona were planning to file a complaint to the Spanish government in their final attempt to register the two players after La Liga and the Spanish Federation (RFEF) refused to alter their stance on the registrations.
