Player registrations have been a massive priority for FC Barcelona in these final days of the transfer window. However, with the team’s first La Liga game of the new season now less than 24 hours away, things need to be wrapped up quickly.
While various things are lining up positively, none of the unregistered players have been officially registered just yet. Fortunately, however, the latest update provided by Barça president Joan Laporta is rather reassuring.
As highlighted by Mundo Deportivo, Laporta recently confirmed that two of the new summer arrivals will be available for the Mallorca game:
“If Flick wants, Joan Garcia and Rashford can play tomorrow.”
That statement implies that everything seems to be in order for both of those players to be registered ahead of the game. For Hansi Flick, that would be great news and one that would significantly boost the quality and depth of the Barcelona squad.
Moreover, the game against Mallorca is one that Barça will want to win and ensure that they get all three points from. For that reason, having the likes of Joan Garcia and Rashford available could prove to be crucial. After all, Garcia is the player that Flick wants as his starter in goal, and the English forward can bring some much-needed energy and a unique spark off the bench.
Interestingly, recent developments such as Jules Kounde’s renewal and the revenue generated from a recent agreement with Portuguese side Sporting CP might have contributed significantly to the club’s efforts to register those players as well.
