Barcelona will register all players before the first game of the season – report

According to a recent report from SPORT, Barcelona have sent all the documents of the last lever to La Liga, which includes the transfers of Franck Kessie and Ousmane Dembele.

As a result of that, the team from Catalonia will now be allowed to register all players who are in the squad at the moment, even those who have been discarded by the management but believe can contribute something until next August 31st.

This has been made possible after Barcelona reached an agreement to enter into a partnership with LIBERO Football Finance AG and private investment advisers NIPA Capital BV for Bridgeburg Invest.

As part of the deal, the team will have a capital influx of around €120 million, and Barcelona plan to use this fund for player registrations.

This means Xavi will have all the players available for the La Liga opener and there is now room for the team to make new signings.

There is a hurry

Given the window they have at the moment, Barcelona want to immediately close all the registrations as they do not want to drag the matter to the last minute since they know all the requirements are already met.

In the current lot, the renewed Inaki Pena, Ronald Araujo, Alejandro Balde, Marcos Alonso, and Sergi Roberto will be entered while new signings Oriol Romeu, Ilkay Gundogan, and Inigo Martínez will be there as well.

This comes in as a positive result for Barcelona after it emerged that the likes of Inigo Martinez and Marcos Alonso were likely to be unregistered ahead of the Getafe clash.

What about the rest?

Now, it must be noted that Barcelona already have 12 players registered in La Liga. But as part of the new lot, Ez Abde will now enter the list and he will get a first-team number. 

At the same time, however, it remains to be seen what Barcelona decide with Sergino Dest and Clement Lenglet. The defensive duo is certainly out of plan and the club have had them on the market for quite a long time.

Meanwhile, Barcelona were particularly in a hurry to register Gundogan in La Liga as the midfielder was at risk of being released if he had not been registered before the start of the league.
