Barcelona extend financial guarantee by an additional €5 million to register all players – report

In a major development, Mundo Deportivo reports that Barcelona have all but ensured the registration of the players still pending: Gerard Martin, Wojciech Szczesny, and Roony Bardghji.

This will be possible thanks to the departures of Inaki Peña and Oriol Romeu, together with the guarantee that the club board approved in mid-August.

This financial guarantee, already deposited with La Liga, had a value of €7 million and, as the aforementioned outlet has learned, has now been extended with an additional €5 million in promissory notes.

Indeed, the Blaugrana board had deposited a €7 million guarantee earlier this month and has now added a further €5 million through promissory notes, already received by La Liga, enabling the completion of the pending registrations.

The aim is for the administrative situation of all players to be resolved this week, an essential step for Hansi Flick to be able to count on them for Sunday’s match against Rayo Vallecano.

As reported just a while back, the first player expected to be registered in La Liga is Gerard Martin, who the club had already hoped to register in time for the match against Levante last week.

The next in line for registration will be goalkeeper Wojciech Szczesny, who will be needed to deputise for Joan Garcia following Inaki Pena’s exit, followed finally by winger Roony Bardghji.

So, if nothing goes wrong, manager Flick will be able to include all the three players in the match squad to take to Vallecas on Sunday.
