• La Liga and RFEF reject Olmo and Víctor registrations
• Barcelona likely to take case to Spain’s sports council

Barcelona have failed in their latest attempt to register the Spain international Dani Olmo for the second half of the season. On Saturday, La Liga and the Spanish football federation (RFEF) jointly rejected the registrations of Olmo and his teammate Pau Víctor.

Olmo, 26, joined Barcelona from RB Leipzig in August for a reported €60m (£51m). They could only register the attacking player for the initial stage of the campaign, though, because of difficulties meeting La Liga’s wage restrictions.
