Barcelona summer arrival confident club will register him ahead of Mallorca clash

With their first game of the 2025/26 La Liga season only a few days away, FC Barcelona are in a race against time to register their new signings and some of their contract renewals.

Barcelona president Joan Laporta, speaking after the Gamper Trophy match, reassured that everything was on track for the player registrations to take place this week.

As reported earlier today, Joan Garcia remains the priority target to be registered first, with the club awaiting the verdict from La Liga’s Medical Commission over Marc-Andre ter Stegen’s injury duration to use his salary to register the new arrival first.

Marcus Rashford calm and confident

Amidst this, MARCA reports that Garcia’s fellow new signing, Marcus Rashford, is calm about the situation and is confident Barcelona will register him this week.

The loanee from Manchester United is putting his trust in Laporta’s words and in the club’s work behind the scenes, confident he will be eligible to make his LaLiga debut this Saturday against Mallorca.

The England international remains calm, relying on Barça to get the paperwork done in time.

The Blaugrana believe that, combined with outgoing transfers such as Inigo Martinez and recent financial manoeuvres, there will be enough margin not only to register Garcia but also Rashford, who is second on the priority list.

Barcelona have been sending almost daily reassurance to those awaiting registration -especially Garcia and Rashford.

The 27-year-old was fully aware of the club’s delicate registration situation when he signed, but that did nothing to dampen his desire to wear the Blaugrana shirt.

He remains hopeful of making his competitive debut this Saturday, aware that all he can do is be ready for the moment his name is officially on the list.

Rashford has enjoyed a strong pre-season, settling quickly into the dressing room and the team. If registered, he could even start on Saturday against Mallorca.

In the Gamper Trophy, Hansi Flick selected him to lead the attack with Robert Lewandowski injured and Ferran Torres dealing with muscle tightness that week. So, if registered Rashford might have a chance to start.
