Pau Víctor: FC Barcelona Contract Extension

The official registration of Pau Víctor by Barcelona has been announced on the club's official website. This decision has sparked debate within Spanish football, with various clubs, including Atletico Madrid, issuing official statements. The Spanish Sports Council (CSD) has given the go-ahead for the registration, but La Liga, led by Javier Tebas, is considering appealing to the ordinary courts to annul this precautionary measure.

Barcelona has managed to secure an urgent precautionary measure from the CSD to temporarily register Pau Víctor, awaiting a final decision on the matter.

Barcelona's attempt to register Pau Victor was officially rejected by LaLiga and the Spanish federation, the RFEF. Although Barcelona managed to secure the necessary funding to include Pau Victor within their spending limits, they missed the December 31 deadline, resulting in the expiration of Victor's playing license. LaLiga and the RFEF decided against Barcelona's appeal, referencing regulations that prevent a player whose license is canceled from obtaining another license with the same club during the same season. Barcelona is planning to take legal action to contest this decision, as it could potentially cost them over €100 million.

Joan Laporta, president of FC Barcelona, is attempting to register Pau Víctor with LaLiga despite missing the registration deadline. Similar to Dani Olmo's case, Barcelona claims they had secured funds from the sale of Camp Nou VIP seats but couldn't process the payment due to banking restrictions. The club plans to appeal if LaLiga denies registration, citing force majeure as the reason for the delay.

Pau Victor, like Dani Olmo, finds himself in the same situation where Barcelona are optimistic about securing his registration despite the missed deadline. The club intends to register him again this season, supported by the economic injection from the sale of future rights to Camp Nou's VIP seating.
