Barcelona looks like they get Joan Garcia's registration on time for their La Liga debut, but still has to take into account six more players who are currently not available for their collision with RCD Mallorca. The headliner that is that list is Manchester United loaner Marcus Rashford.
After La Liga had approved the injury of Marc-Andre ter Stegen for a long time, the Blaugrana will activate the injury rule to enable them to include Garcia in their team until January. With just over 48 hours over before the kick -off against Los Bermellones, however, Barcelona is still working on six more players' registrations.
Starting with Marcus Rashford – The International of England has said that he is relaxed about the situation, and he will probably be the next to be registered in terms of priority. In the meantime, new contracts for Wojciech Szczsy, Gerard Martin and Marc Bernal must all be included in their salary limit.
New signature Roony Bardghji is another that still has to be registered, but he could be registered as a Barca Atletic player, while Hector Fort is the sixth. Van Fort is expected to leave no less for Mallorca, but Marca says that he and Bernal, who recovers from an ACL injury, will be the last to be registered.
Barcelona hopes to get the green light from auditors Crowe that their VIP seats of € 100 million are now included in their accounts and can be added to their salary limit. That would be the Catalan giants in their salary limit and with fewer restrictions on their expenses, all six players could register as soon as La Liga approves.
On Wednesday, the Barcelona board unanimously approved the use of a guarantee of € 7 million. That warranty would be sufficient for Barcelona to register the remaining players, but it will only be used at the end of the transfer market if La Liga has not approved their VIP chair agreement. The warranty enables the club to issue an extra € 7 million that was not in their budget, according to the reservation that it will be compensated later. If this is not at the end of the mandate, the board members are personally liable for that amount.
