Barcelona could lose playmaker Dani Olmo and forward Pau Víctor for the rest of the season after the league said Wednesday that the club is not complying with financial fair play rules. Barcelona managed to register Olmo and Víctor after the government’s sports authority intervened with a provisional ruling against the Spanish league and Spanish federation’s decision to deny the club’s request because it missed the end-of-the year deadline to comply with financial rules.

Barcelona do not have the financial capacity to register forwards Dani Olmo and Pau Victor, La Liga has said. The Catalans were granted temporary licenses by La Liga to register Olmo and Victor last summer.

Spain's National Sports Council (CSD) on Thursday upheld an appeal filed by Barcelona players Dani Olmo and Pau Victor which will allow them to play for the club until the end of the season, a decision LaLiga said they would appeal.
