What's Happening?
Barcelona has received permission from LaLiga to register Joan Garcia, using salary space allocated for the injured Marc-André ter Stegen. Ter Stegen's back injury qualifies as long-term, allowing Garcia's registration for the league opener against Mallorca. The club is also preparing a €7 million guarantee to register other players, including Marcus Rashford, amid financial fair play challenges.
Why It's Important?
The ability to register Garcia is crucial for Barcelona's squad depth and competitive edge in the upcoming season. The use of injury exemptions highlights the club's strategic maneuvering within financial regulations. The guarantee reflects ongoing efforts to comply with fair play rules, impacting Barcelona's financial stability and player registration capabilities.
What's Next?
Barcelona's board will continue to work on financial strategies to ensure compliance with LaLiga's fair play rules. The registration of other players, including Rashford, depends on the approval of financial measures like the VIP seats sale. The club's ability to navigate these challenges will influence its performance and financial health.
