Barcelona give update on registration of six players

Barcelona are reportedly confident the club will be able to register six players, including Marcus Rashford, ahead of the new LaLiga season.

Rashford joined Barcelona last month on a season-long loan deal from Man United, with the Catalan giants having the option to turn the move permanent for around £30m.

The reigning LaLiga champions, however, have faced difficulties in registering players with the league due to their ongoing financial situation.

Barcelona struggled to register Dani Olmo and Pau Victor last season, with the pair initially given temporary licences which were revoked by LaLiga during the January transfer window.

The club were temporarily granted permission to have the licences reinstated following an appeal, but the saga dragged on throughout the 2025-26 season.

Barcelona president Joan Laporta has expressed confidence that Rashford will be among six stars registered prior to the season.

'It's progressing well,' Laporta told ESPN. 'We're doing our job and we're confident that we'll be able to register everyone.'

When asked about the situation, Rashford added 'It's something for the club to sort out. I believe they are going to get it sorted.

'I just focus on training and be ready for the start of the season.'

Spanish newspaper Sport state that Barcelona are hopeful of being able to register Rashford and five other players once a new sponsorship agreement and raising of £87m through the sale of 475 VIP seats at the Camp Nou is ratified.

Rashford and fellow new signing Joan Garcia are reportedly Barcelona’s priorities to be registered for the new season, along with Wojciech Szczesny.

Szczesny would need to be re-registered after signing a new deal when his short-term contract expired.

Barcelona then plan to give first team squad numbers to three other players, including new signing Roony Bardghji.

The Swedish youngster will reportedly be registered when space becomes available after the three priority players.

Gerard Martín and Marc Bernal would then complete Barcelona’s registrations for the new season.

Barcelona, it is claimed, want to seal the registrations with LaLiga ahead of the Joan Gamper Trophy, which will take place on Sunday.

Hansi Flick’s side will officially begin the new LaLiga season on August 16 against Mallorca, giving them just 11 days to register new players.
