the club currently has only two possible pathways to officially register new signings Joan Garcia and Marcus Rashford before the season begins.
The primary option lies in the hands of the financial auditors: securing approval for revenue generated from the VIP boxes at the Spotify Camp Nou. Barcelona have been pushing for this income to be recognised as part of their “economic levers,” which would free up enough salary cap space to register the new arrivals under La Liga’s strict Financial Fair Play rules.
The alternative route is far less straightforward it would require La Liga to validate a medical report on goalkeeper Marc-André ter Stegen. If approved, his temporary unavailability could allow the club to make a special registration under exceptional circumstances.
With the season fast approaching, the pressure is mounting on the Barça board to get creative and find a solution. Failure to do so would mean two high-profile additions remain unable to take the field, a scenario that would frustrate both the fans and Hansi Flick’s plans for the campaign.
