Barcelona face a host of crunch contract decisions ahead of their return to action in 2025.
This weekend’s La Liga showdown with Atletico Madrid wraps up 2024 for Hansi Flick’s team before a busy January.
The start of 2025 includes action across the league, Copa del Rey, Spanish Super Cup and the UEFA Champions League and a full squad is needed.
The main issue for Barcelona to solve is Dani Olmo’s ongoing registration saga with his current terms expiring at the end of December.
Barcelona used a rule which allowed the club to register Olmo for this season, as 80% of Andreas Christensen’s salary was repurposed due to his long-term injury, but that will not last into 2025.
As per reports from Reliefthe club are also hopeful of resolving Pau Victor’s own expiring registration, but he is less of a priority.
Victor is a useful squad option, but if an agreement cannot be reached, the 23-year-old could be loaned out to another La Liga team – with Real Betis rumoured to be interested.
