Barcelona are expected to be told they will be able to register Dani Olmo, if only for the time being, after lodging an appeal this week.
According to multiple reports in Spain, the Higher Sports Council (CSD) will grant the club a precautionary measure that will allow it to temporarily register both Olmo, a target for several Premier League teams, and Pau Víctor.
Therefore, once the decision is made official, both players will be able to play again in LaLiga after several weeks of uncertainty.
Olmo and Víctor have been included in Barcelona's squad for the Super Cup despite not being able to play. According Sports WorldThe club is optimistic about receiving registration approval this week, and it could arrive shortly.
Last week, Barcelona revealed their plans to file a complaint after both LaLiga and the Spanish Football Federation (RFEF) rejected their latest attempt to re-register the duo, subsequently taking the matter to court.
The latest sentence, which will ease the pressure on president Joan Laporta after another tumultuous period, does not mean that Olmo and Víctor will be able to play this afternoon against Athletic Bilbao in the Super Cup in Riyadh.

However, El Larguero, via Chain BeingThey have reported that the possibility of them playing in the final has not been ruled out, in case Barcelona advances to that phase.
The CSD verdict also does not mean that Olmo and Víctor are eligible for the remainder of the season. Rather, the ruling is an acknowledgment that Barcelona's appeal, which was presented in the form of a 52-page document, has a solid legal basis.
Now, the agency has a period of up to three months to study the case before issuing a final ruling. Meanwhile, Olmo and Víctor will be able to play normally.
Yesterday, Barcelona striker Raphinha warned that the saga surrounding Olmo's re-registration problems could deter future transfer targets from joining.
“I can't say otherwise because I would lie otherwise,” Raphinha added.
Olmo joined Hansi Flick's side from RB Leipzig last summer in a deal worth £50m, but was only able to register on a temporary deal until the end of 2024, due to LaLiga's strict financial restrictions on Barcelona.
The Catalan giants had been trying to re-register the playmaker to make him available for selection beyond December 31, but encountered several obstacles.
Indeed, LaLiga issued a statement on New Year's Eve confirming that they had rejected the club's proposal, raising the possibility that Olmo could leave on a free transfer.
