In a similar scenario to that experienced with Dembélé, Dani Olmo's path at Barça seems to be getting more complicated by the moment. The Spanish midfielder is creating concern within the club, both for his immediate future and for his constant physical problems. Such a case that is beginning to be a real headache for Deco and Laporta.
Dani Olmo arrived as the only transfer of Hansi Flick's new era and has left a very good impression. Deco and Laporta are extremely satisfied with his performance on the field and consider his transfer a great success. However, nobody could have imagined that his time at FC Barcelona would be so turbulent. Right now there are two major problems that aren't allowing him to shine at 100%.
Dani Olmo's Registration: First Obstacle
One of the main problems surrounding Dani Olmo is the question of his registration starting in January. Barça already had problems registering him in summer and finally Laporta had to use 80% of Christensen's salary so that he could play. Although Dani Olmo's level is not in doubt, the financial situation could leave him on the sidelines from January onward.
Barça must comply with financial fair play and Dani Olmo's registration could depend on the departure of a player. Laporta, who's been aware of this problem, is working against the clock to find viable solutions. Weeks ago he promised that there would be no problem in this regard. The reality, however, is that January is getting closer and closer and Olmo is still not registered until the end of the season.
Dani Olmo's Physical Problems: Second Setback
Added to this administrative dilemma are the recurring physical problems that have plagued Dani Olmo since he arrived at Barça. This weekend, the player was unable to participate in the match due to a new problem, which further fuels the concern. Olmo has been a talented player, but his medical history has begun to resemble that of Dembélé's, who spent part of his time with injuries despite his quality.
Dani Olmo's physical profile is similar to Dembélé's in terms of his explosiveness and speed. Both factors make him vulnerable to this type of problem. The Barça squad, which needs quality players to fight for titles, cannot allow these problems to continue. We will see what happens with Dani Olmo, but it seems clear that he must solve these two problems as soon as possible to avoid becoming a Dembélé.
