Barcelona will make efforts to register another new signing apart from Joan Garcia before Mallorca clash

According to Mundo Deportivo, Barcelona are moving quickly to ensure Marcus Rashford is registered in time for their La Liga opener against Mallorca. 

It must be remembered that the Manchester United loanee has not yet been officially added to the league’s books as a new Barça player, but the club is confident they can complete the process before Saturday’s kick-off against Mallorca.

The immediate priority for the Catalan side is finalising the registration of goalkeeper Joan Garcia, who is set to step in during Marc-Andre ter Stegen’s long-term absence. Once that is done, attention will turn fully to Rashford. 

Barcelona believe both cases can be resolved promptly, though time remains tight.

Financial moves to secure fair play compliance

Barcelona’s ability to register Rashford and other pending players hinges on meeting La Liga’s financial fair play rules. 

The club is waiting for both the auditor and La Liga to give the green light for the sale of VIP seats at the Spotify Camp Nou, a deal expected to bring in around €100 million. 

This significant revenue boost would allow Barça to return to a 1:1 ratio in their salary cap calculations, giving them the space needed to finalise new registrations.

It is also worth noting that the board of directors recently approved a guarantee to cover a €7 million deficit caused by the club’s sports sections. 

This proactive step was taken to avoid further fair play complications and keep transfer plans on track.

If these financial measures are approved in time, Barcelona could register all remaining unlisted players. 

However, not every new signing is expected to be available for the first league game. The focus, nevertheless, remains on having key players like Rashford ready to feature, as the club looks to start their season strongly against a competitive Mallorca side.
