Barcelona faces challenges in player registrations ahead of the new season, attributed to La Liga's financial regulations. Manager Hansi Flick expressed displeasure with the situation regarding Marcus Rashford's registration. The club's financial issues have persisted, only allowing limited registrations, such as Dani Olmo under special exceptions. Barcelona aims to manage their finances better by utilizing strategies like medical leave agreements for players. The club's first game is approaching, with several players, including Joao Garcia, still unregistered, creating concerns for team readiness.
Marcus Rashford has not yet been registered by Barcelona, causing concern for manager Hansi Flick who expressed his unhappiness regarding the situation as the new season starts. La Liga's financial rules hinder the club's ability to sign players, as Barcelona's spending on players and wages in the 2024-25 season exceeded revenue. Despite challenges, Flick remains confident in the club's approach to managing the situation and focusing on controllable factors.
Barcelona's financial struggles are persistent, allowing only Dani Olmo's registration for the first half of the season as a special exception. Appeals for further registration were rejected, and they managed to re-register him temporarily in January 2025.
Previous seasons have seen Barcelona struggle to register new signings, including strikers like Robert Lewandowski, due to financial constraints and necessary measures to free up funding such as utilizing 'economic levers'. Recent actions include goalkeeper Marc-Andre ter Stegen agreeing to a long-term medical leave, significantly aiding in player registration.
Barcelona's first match of the season against Mallorca will test the club's ability to manage its current roster, as several other players like Joao Garcia remain unregistered.
