Atletico Madrid are concerned that the decision by Spain's National Sports Council (CSD) to allow Barcelona to provisionally register Dani Olmo and Pau Victor sets a dangerous precedent, the LaLiga club said on Thursday.

Spain’s government has stepped to provisionally allow midfielder Dani Olmo and forward Pau Víctor to continue playing for Barcelona following the Spanish league’s refusal to do so.

The Higher Sports Council (CSD) has granted FC Barcelona the precautionary measure to register Dani Olmo and Pau Víctor, thus resolving weeks of uncertainty surrounding their status with the club.

Atletico Madrid have issued a statement to express the club’s “deep concern” at the decision by the CSD to allow Barcelona to register Dani Olmo and Pau Victor on a temporary basis. The two players are now available to play for the Catalan giants once again after Barca took their appeals to the Spanish government.
