FC Barcelona has serious problems complying with the financial fair play rules. Meanwhile, Real Madrid is closely watching all the movements happening at Camp Nou.
Barça's Trouble with Financial Fair Play
The mess with Barça Studios, the value of which was inflated, resulted in no one's wanting to be the paying partner of a fictitious business. Barça generated a 40-million hole that hasn't been covered by its regular activities, which shows a negative balance.
LaLiga felt deceived by Barça Studios and is now closely monitoring the movements of the Blaugrana club, allowing no exceptions at all.
Laporta has serious problems complying with the financial fair play regulations by adjusting the wage bill, and now faces a major setback.
In August, they registered Dani Olmo taking advantage of Christensen's long-term injury. However, Dani Olmo's registration expires on January 1st. If by then Barça doesn't have its finances in order, they won't be able to register the player again.
Bayern Has Already Shown Interest in Olmo
Olmo has a clause in his contract providinng that, if he can't be registered, he'll automatically become a free agent to be able to negotiate with anyone he wants.
Dani Olmo is a real gem in the market. His departure from Barça would be at zero cost after having paid 55 million plus 7 in variables to Leipzig last summer.
It is known that Bayern Munich is very interested in adding him to the squad. Real Madrid, however, doesn't rule out making a move if his departure from the Catalonian club is confirmed.
Olmo is not a priority in Real Madrid's plans, currently having other urgencies. However, Ancelotti could incorporate him into his midfield, given that attacking positions are highly competitive at Real Madrid.
A Stunning Goal
As an offensive midfielder, Ancelotti sees more utility for him within the characteristics of his team.
Real Madrid hasn't moved to sign the player, but would consider his acquisition if he can arrive at the Bernabéu at zero cost.
This season, Barça is making things easy, both on the field and in the offices. Dani Olmo's transfer could be a stunning goal against Laporta's Barça.
