In what comes as a major relief, FC Barcelona will be able to register Dani Olmo and Pau Victor on Monday, allowing them to continue playing for the first team starting in January, reports MARCA.

The Blaugrana were put in a spot of bother on Friday when the court rejected their appeal for a precautionary measure which would allow them to register Olmo and Victor until the end of the season.

Soon after, Barcelona president Joan Laporta got to work on alternative routes to raise funds and has succeeded if reports are to be believed.

€100 million deal secured for Camp Nou VIP boxes

Indeed, as per the report, Laporta has successfully negotiated the sale of the VIP boxes at the new Spotify Camp Nou for €100 million, which is sufficient to register both players.

Additionally, this deal ensures the club will return with the 1:1 financial rule, enabling them to operate in the transfer market with confidence in both the winter and summer windows.

The agreement has been finalised with the Arab companies with whom negotiations have taken place. Laporta has been working on this matter with his colleagues in the Middle East for several days, and a final deal has now been reached.

The only remaining step is for the €100 million payment to be processed, and the Catalans are currently in contact with several companies to facilitate this transaction.

Discussions with La Liga

Once the payment is completed, the final documentation will be submitted to La Liga for approval, although the league has been informed of Barcelona’s actions for several days.

The club has sought consultation with La Liga to ensure that the sponsorship deal will allow them to meet the 1:1 financial rule.

This consultation follows an earlier agreement with Nike that did not meet the necessary requirements.
