Barcelona star sends farewell message to club's fans
A departing member of the attacking ranks at La Liga giants Barcelona has bid a fond farewell to all in Catalunya's capital. The player in question? Pau Víctor. Frontman Víctor is for his part of course fresh off seeing his departure from Barcelona made official. Following a quickfire round of talks with Portuguese outfit SC Braga, the Camp Nou brass sanctioned a deal for the 23-year-old to depart on a permanent basis this weekend. As much brings to an end what was a short-lived stint for Víctor on Barcelona's books, spread between the club's reserve outfit, and first-team. Evidently, though, across this time, the Blaugrana made a deep impact on the versatile attacker from a personal standpoint. This comes with Víctor having taken to his official social media accounts, to bid a heartfelt farewell to the Spanish champions: 'Today marks the end of a chapter that has shaped my life. A chapter that has been much more than football: it has been a dream come true. First with Barça Atlètic, then with the first team… but always with the same feeling: that of a kid who grew up dreaming of wearing this shirt. Defending this badge has been an immense honor, both at the Johan and at Montjuïc, always with the pride of being part of a unique club. Because Barça is not just a club. It's a feeling that fills you, transforms you, and makes you better. Thank you to all the coaches, teammates, club staff, and fans who have accompanied me on this journey. I take with me friendships, values, lessons, and memories that I'll carry with me forever. Now I head toward new challenges, with my head held high and my heart full. With the same passion, the same commitment, and the eternal pride of having defended these colors, and a dream lived that will accompany me wherever I go. With all my gratitude, Forever a Culer.'

Barcelona star in the sights of Bayer Leverkusen ahead of the summer
An out-of-favour member of the attacking ranks at La Liga giants Barcelona has made his way onto the transfer radar of German outfit Bayer Leverkusen. That's according to , who point towards Pau Víctor as the player in question. Frontman Víctor, for his part, has endured something of a difficult campaign to date in Catalunya's capital. Owing to the fierce competition for places in Hansi Flick's frontline, the 23-year-old has largely struggled for game-time, to the tune of just two starts across all competitions. At such a crucial point in his development as a player, it has in turn come as little surprise to see Víctor linked with a summer transfer away from the Camp Nou. And if the latest word stemming from the media is anything to go by, then the Spaniard looks unlikely to be short on suitors. As per a report from Sport: 'Bayer Leverkusen are very attentive to Víctor's situation and with a project that is going to be revolutionized after the farewell of Xabi Alonso.' The likes of Real Betis, Celta Vigo and RCD Mallorca are all understood to be keeping a close eye on the player's situation, too. Barcelona, for their part, remain happy with Víctor's efforts, but are not expected to stand in the way of the striker if he opts to seek out a new adventure for next season. Conor Laird – GSFN

Olmo and Pau Víctor cleared to play on but La Liga says Barcelona have failed FFP
Dani Olmo and Pau Víctor can continue to play until the end of the season after the Spanish sports council (CSD) upheld Barcelona's appeal against the league's decision to unregister them because the club did not meet a 31 December deadline on financial controls. The judgment comes a day after La Liga said Barcelona still did not comply with the salary limit set and that it would report the club's former auditors after €100m effectively disappeared from their accounts. The CSD, which in January passed an injunction releasing Olmo and Víctor to play pending a three-month investigation, delivered its judgment on Thursday. The government body ruled that the joint league-federation commission that had announced that the players could not be registered lacks the jurisdiction to rule on their case and that they had incorrectly denied the players a licence, thus 'annulling the RFEF-Liga agreement'. Olmo and Víctor faced having their registration removed with immediate effect, but can now continue until 30 June, after which Barcelona will again have to meet financial fair play limits to register them for next season. Barcelona's ability to register them in the next window was, though, again cast in doubt on Wednesday when the league alleged that, contrary to what had been believed in January, Barcelona have not reached what is known as 1:1 where a club operates normally, spending a euro for every euro of income. The league said that the income from a €100m deal from two unnamed investors to buy VIP boxes at the new Camp Nou, which allowed them meet the threshold in January, does not now appear in the club's profit and loss statement. With time running out Barcelona had employed unnamed auditors on 31 December– on Thursday reported by Cadena Ser to be a Catalan company called Abauding – which provided the certificate that accredited the income. That firm took over from the previous auditors Grant Thornton and was then replaced by Crowe Auditores. Crowe prepared the club's accounts that were delivered to the league after the close of the transfer window. According to the league, those audited accounts do not now include the €100m deal. 'Neither on 31 December, nor on 3 January nor today do Barcelona have the margin to comply with financial fair play,' a La Liga statement said. It also said it had asked the CSD to investigate fully and that it would report the auditors who certified that income to the Institute of Accounting and Accounts Auditing (ICAC). The Barcelona president, Joan Laporta, claimed that the league's announcement was part of a campaign against his club. 'That they come out with controversies like this is not chance,' he said. 'It's another attempt to destabilise us.' La Liga announced on 31 December that Barcelona had missed the deadline to comply with financial controls. Still over their €426m salary limit, that meant that the temporary registrations given to Olmo and Víctor in August ran out and the pair were removed from the squad. Barcelona said that a late €100m deal to sell VIP boxes at the new Camp Nou to Middle Eastern investors had been completed. The club's vice-president Elena Fort said she did not know who the two companies were that had bought the package. Laporta subsequently said there was one Qatari company and another from Saudi Arabia but he did not name them. Sign up to Football Daily Kick off your evenings with the Guardian's take on the world of football after newsletter promotion Although the league ratified that income on 3 January based on an auditor's certificate, increasing the limit to €463m, it said that the necessary documentation had not been received in time to extend the registration of Olmo and Pau Víctor. Federation (RFEF) rules prevent a club registering a player twice in one season, denying them the opportunity to effectively re-sign the two players. A statement from the Comisión de Seguimiento del Convenio de Coordinación RFEF-LaLiga, the body that oversees the relationship between the league and federation, then announced that they could not be included in the squad. Barcelona had previously failed in two legal challenges raised against the ruling but succeeded in convincing the CSD to apply a cautelar, essentially an injunction suspending the decision pending an investigation. The CSD said then that it did so in order to avoid irreparable damage to the players and to Spanish football. Barcelona provided a 60-page document defending the players' right to work and alleging that the Commission does not have the competence to rule in this case. On Thursday the CSD upheld that argument, rejecting La Liga and the RFEF's argument that the Commission had only communicated decisions made by the relevant bodies at both institutions. The CSD insisted that its ruling did not bring into question the legitimacy of the salary limit rules at La Liga, although some clubs are concerned that the structure may now have been severely undermined. Nor did the ruling make any mention of the 100m payment that La Liga is now questioning; those are effectively two different, if related issues. Barcelona have not responded formally to La Liga's statement.

Barcelona could lose Olmo after La Liga says club not complying with financial rules
MADRID (AP) — Barcelona could lose playmaker Dani Olmo and forward Pau Víctor for the rest of the season after the league said Wednesday that the club is not complying with financial fair play rules. Barcelona managed to register Olmo and Víctor after the government's sports authority intervened with a provisional ruling against the Spanish league and Spanish federation's decision to deny the club's request because it missed the end-of-the year deadline to comply with financial rules. The Spanish league said it notified the sports authority about what it claimed to be incorrect information sent by Barcelona regarding the sales of VIP seating at the renovated Camp Nou stadium, which was crucial to give the club the needed income that would allow it to include Olmo and Víctor in the roster. The league said Barcelona has had three different auditors in the last three months, and they provided conflicting information regarding the club's finances. The league said the government's sports authority has until April 7 to give a final ruling on the issue. Barcelona president Joan Laporta said the accusation is 'another attempt to hurt the club's image." 'I have a feeling that this is not a coincidence,' he said, referring to the news coming on the day of the team's Copa del Rey semifinal match at Atletico Madrid. 'It's another attempt to destabilize our team. It feels like that, because they can't beat us on the field, they are trying to beat us in the offices.' He did not seem to be referring specifically to Atletico. Barcelona and Atletico drew 4-4 in their Copa quarterfinal first-leg game in Barcelona. The Catalan club leads the Spanish league. ___ AP soccer:
