Barcelona president Joan Laporta has defended his administration’s handling of the Dani Olmo case and has claimed that there was a campaign to tarnish the club’s image.

Dani Olmo's future at Barcelona remains in the balance as the Catalan club pursue their legal battle to get the midfielder registered to play once more.There is precedent -- in 2015 Arda Turan and Aleix Vidal joined Barcelona but were frozen out for six months because the Catalan club was serving a ban which prevented them from registering players.

Barcelona president Joan Laporta has defended his management of the club's finances and said they followed the Financial Fair Play (FFP) rules to enable them to register players Dani Olmo and Pau Victor.

The Spanish league and Spain's soccer federation on Saturday again denied Barcelona's request to register Dani Olmo and Pau Víctor for the rest of the season.

Barcelona president Joan Laporta defended his handling of the Dani Olmo registration issue and lashed out at enemies attacking the club in a fiery speech on Tuesday.Laporta said one of the reasons for the registration debacle was because the club did not accept a new sponsorship deal with sportswear brand Nike in the summer.
