Barça has emerged victorious in the Spanish Super Cup after overpowering Madrid in Arabia: 2-5. Despite not being able to play in the semifinal, Dani Olmo was part of the final match, coming on in the second half. After the match, the youth academy player didn't hold back and made it clear where he will play for the rest of the season.
"I'm staying," indicated Dani Olmo to the Barça fans who were in Saudi Arabia. Kissing the badge and making gestures with his hands, he was emphatic and left no room for doubt about his continuity. No one has doubts in Barcelona and everyone hopes there won't be more problems with his registration.
Mutiny in Spain? The Reply being Prepared at Barça with Dani Olmo
Dani Olmo has received all the support from Barça's locker room during these last few days. Due to the whole issue of his non-registration in LaLiga, the Spanish player's teammates had decided on a pressure measure to ensure he wouldn't be left out for the season. This was related to the Spanish national team, vetoing the possibility of being drafted for the country.
This was discovered by the deputy director of AS, Joaquín Maroto, in his latest appearance on the Onze program. Dani Olmo's teammates at Barça and the Spanish national team had planned to "stand firm" if the situation wasn't solved. If the player hadn't been able to play due to LaLiga and the Federation, the plan was clear: reject Luis de la Fuente's call-up.
Players like Lamine Yamal, Cubarsí, Pedri, or Gavi, among others, were considering this act of disobedience. The plan was clear if Dani Olmo wasn't registered due to LaLiga and the RFEF: feign injuries or minor discomforts to avoid responding to the next call-up from the coach. This would have been key to avoiding sanctions for disobedience.
Finally, the granting of precautionary measures by the CSD for Olmo and Pau Víctor has prevented this situation from occurring. The next step is clear: stay at FC Barcelona and hope the registration is for the entire remaining season. There is no doubt.
