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 program Onze. 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.
Players like Lamine Yamal, Cubarsí, Pedri, or Gavi, among others, were considering the possibility of this act of disobedience. The plan was clear if Dani Olmo wasn't registered due to LaLiga and the RFEF: feign injuries or mild discomforts to avoid the next draft 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 taking place.
FC Barcelona is Vital for Spanish Sports: Confirmed with Dani Olmo
The highest body of Spanish sports values the work that Barça does with its youth academy. And the benefit that Spain and its national teams gain from it.
Every player that emerges from FC Barcelona at a young age ends up serving the Spanish national team. A very successful team in recent times.
It was also this successful fifteen years ago, when La Roja won the World Cup and two European Championships with a majority of Barcelona players.
Laporta has recalled the continuous injuries of Barça players that occurred while defending Spain's jersey. Without threatening, he made it clear that this collaborative spirit could come to an end.
Barça didn't intend to prevent its players from responding to the coach's call. However, it was clear that, if the physical condition wasn't certain or the interests of the club could be harmed, there would be no willingness to release them.
The CSD assessed the risk that having Barça against them poses for Spanish sports. From the outset, it aimed toward a diplomatic solution that would benefit everyone, but especially Spanish soccer. Spain can't afford to turn its back on Barcelona.
