Barcelona playmaker’s father admits concern over player’s registration situation
Earlier in the year, Dani Olmo was the talking point at Barcelona in the wake of his registration woes.
After multiple legal battles, Barça ultimately had to rely on CSD’s precautionary relief to register Olmo to the squad.
However, that precautionary measure is now under review, and the final decision from the CSD is expected by April 7.
If the decision does not favour Barcelona, the club are prepared to take the matter to the ordinary courts and request a precautionary measure that would allow Olmo to continue playing until the end of the season.
Olmo’s father admits tension over registration
Speaking to RAC1 (h/t SPORT), Dani Olmo’s father, Miguel Olmo, has recently admitted that he is indeed tensed over the registration situation.
“Yes, of course, I would be deceiving you if I said that it is not a concern, but we trust that good work will be done,” he said.
Needless to say, Olmo and his family had to endure a difficult period in January when his registration was delayed, with Barcelona going through numerous legal routes.
Olmo’s father on scheduling woes
Apart from addressing Olmo’s registration, Miguel also criticised La Liga for their scheduling, namely fixing Barcelona’s game against Osasuna on Thursday.
“They have shoehorned us a game this Thursday, and in practically eight days they will play four games, things in the League,” he said.
That said, Miguel went on to hail Hansi Flick for the way he has managed such a tough fixture list, but admitted that La Liga has made Barcelona’s life difficult through the Osasuna fixture.
“The coach is managing it well, the management of who plays and who does not play and when it is their turn.
“What happens is that it is true that it is difficult to find a game on Thursday when you have players like Araujo or Raphinha who have to return on a private flight to try to be in the game,” he concluded.
