The Blaugrana still have seven not registered players before their first match.
Coach Hansi Flick admitted his dissatisfaction with the fact that the registrations have not yet been finalized for a new season in Barcelona. Garcia's registration was mentioned as a certainty following confirmation of the prolonged absence of Marc-André Ter Stegen. Friday, the rumor was running that the availability of Rashford was less likely.
Joan Laporta “almost convinced” of the availability of Rashford and Garcia
While FC Barcelona players were likely to rest before their first game of the season, Laporta was in celebration mode, participating in an evening with the Barcelona supporters' clubs from the Balearic Islands before the games. During the evening, Laporta spoke on the subject of players' registrations, quoted by Diario As.
“I must tell you that I am almost convinced, almost convinced, that tomorrow, if Hansi wishes, Joan Garcia and Rashford will be able to play. »»
Rashford is one of the three recruits of Barça.
“It is not a simple and easy mission. It is a mission that is based on a principle: first to love Barça, then fight to the end. This is part of our competitive essence, and it allows us to be more than a simple club. »»
He added that he thought not only that we were in full ascent, but that Barça was promised to lasting success.
In theory, Barcelona should be able to activate the injury rule to register Garcia using part of TER Stegen's room for maneuver. Likewise, the contract extension of Jules Koundé, whose contract could help them to calculate their salary limit, the sale of 50 % of the rights of Francisco Trinca to Sporting CP for 11 million euros, and the bank guarantee of 7 million euros from the board of directors, should be added to their salary limit soon, if it is not already done. However, this would not be the first time that Barcelona has been wrong in his calculations or announces that he can register players before the scheduled date. Last season, Dani Olmo and Pau Victor missed matches due to registration problems, a recurring problem at Barça in the last four summers.
