Dani Olmo: What could happen next at FC Barcelona

National player Dani Olmo is still not eligible to play. President Laporta now wants to involve the government, and his competitors from Madrid are watching closely. Meanwhile, resentment is growing in the FC Barcelona dressing room.

The Dani Olmo case is turning into an institutional crisis at FC Barcelona – and will likely concern the Spanish justice system. On Sunday, ten associations of club members called on President Joan Laporta to “immediately resign” – and threatened a vote of no confidence if she remained in office. The club’s image and reputation have “unfortunately suffered serious damage,” write the opposition in a joint communiqué.
