FC Barcelona is moving 'against the clock' to finalize the registration of players who still do not have a first team record. The Spotify Camp Nou offices are on fire, but they have managed to close three records that could be key for Hansi Flick ahead of the league debut against Valencia. Iñigo Martínez, Marc Casadó and Pablo Torre will reinforce the defense and midfield of the squad in Mestalla, a situation that gives the German a 'breather'.

And the Blaugrana coach did not contemplate a defense without the Basque central defender in the duel corresponding to the first day of LaLiga. The German left him on the pitch in the 90 minutes of the Joan Gamper Trophy, showing the confidence he has in him, and Barça has achieved his registration 'thanks' to the rule of article 77, which allows the registration of a footballer using a percentage of the salary of another player, who in this case could have been Ronald Araújo, whose injury will keep him in dry dock until the end of the year.

On the other hand, LaLiga received this Friday all the documentation of the agreement between the Barça entity and Aramark, the company that took charge of the 40 million euros unpaid by Libero. According to 'Mundo Deportivo', the employers' association has approved the information sent by the Catalans and the Barcelona offices have begun to use these funds to complete the registrations, not only of Iñigo, but also of Casadó and Torre.

The two 'pearls' of Barça will be available for Flick who has several casualties in the middle of the field. Frenkie de Jong and Gavi continue to recover from their injuries, Pedri arrives just in time for the match at Mestalla and Fermín López is still on vacation after his participation in the Paris Olympic Games. For these reasons, the German will almost certainly use these youngsters, whose performance in the preseason was more than satisfactory.

Two more players could join

However, the work of the culés managers does not end here. According to the aforementioned source, the Blaugrana institution would also be trying to register Álex Valle and Pau Victor, who would be two good additions to give depth to a bench depleted by injuries and problems with financial fair play. Those who will not be available are Vitor Roque, who has a foot and a half outside the club, and Dani Olmo, whose little experience with the first team has left him out of the squad to continue working on his set-up and avoid any physical setbacks, which , today, would cost very expensive in Barcelona.
