Barcelona expect imminent La Liga green light on injury rule

Barcelona expects good news about their latest player registration drama, because they hope to activate La Liga's emergency injury rule for a second summer to get them out of a binding.

Last year Dani Olmo and Pau Victor were registered in August due to a long-term injury to Andreas Christensen, with La Liga stating that clubs could allocate 50-80% of a player's salary limit space to registering another player. After Marc-Andre ter Stegen announced that he would give permission to sign his medical report and then be sent to La Liga.

In the case of Ter Stegen, the extra salary limit room can only be used for a keeper. In a transfer window, if the duration is described as four months by the medical evaluation, they can only use 50% of his salary limit impact, while that would increase if the prognosis is five months or more to 80%. Barcelona believes that Ter Stegen's recovery could be on the longer side, despite the German announcement that he would only be out for three months.

According to MD, the documents have been sent to La Liga and they now analyze them. The Blaugrana expect a decision on Tuesday (today) or Wednesday, giving them the time to register new signing Joan Garcia in theory.

Barcelona also hopes to receive a report from their Auditors Crowe this week. After organizing the Joan Gamper trophy on Sunday evening, investors in their VIP chairs -Lease (a deal of € 100 million in exchange for using 475 seats for 30 years) could use their purchase for the first time. If Crowe takes up the deal in their audit, Barcelona can add € 100 million back to their salary limit after it was removed in March. This would be the key in registering people like Wojciech Szczesny and Marcus Rashford.
