Barcelona has finally overcome its financial hurdles to register new signing Dani Olmo with LaLiga, paving the way for his debut in the upcoming match against Rayo Vallecano on Tuesday. The registration was made possible by a combination of factors, including the departures of Ilkay Gündogan to Manchester City and Clément Lenglet on loan to Atlético Madrid, which freed up salary space. Additionally, the long-term injury of Andreas Christensen, who is expected to be sidelined for over four months due to a tendon injury in his left ankle, played a crucial role in the registration process.Barcelona coach Hansi Flick expressed his relief and anticipation for Olmo’s potential participation, stating, ‘I always have hope. I was expecting him for the last game, but it would be great to have him in the team for the Rayo Vallecano game. The situation is out of the player’s control, and the team’s as well’. Olmo’s registration is reportedly temporary until December 31, taking advantage of Christensen’s absence.Meanwhile, Barcelona’s pursuit of Juventus forward Federico Chiesa appears to have cooled off. Initially reported to be close to joining the Catalan club, recent developments suggest that Barcelona has pulled out of the race due to insufficient salary space in their budget. This turn of events has opened the door for other clubs, with Liverpool emerging as a potential destination for the Italian international. According to transfer expert Fabrizio Romano, Liverpool has made contact with Juventus, inquiring about the conditions of a transfer for Chiesa, who is reportedly open to a move to the Premier League.
