Barça, 'against the clock': Up to six pending registrations and less than 48 hours to resolve them

There are moments of tension in the FC Barcelona offices. With less than 48 hours until the league debut against Valencia, the Barça entity is still having problems registering all the players on the squad. A situation that is not new in Barcelona, ​​where last season they had an agonizing end with the 'in extremis' registrations of Iñaki Peña and Iñigo Martínez.

In Can Barça they were able to stretch the case of the Basque central defender, whose plantar fasciitis kept him on the sidelines during the first days of the championship and who was later able to be registered 'thanks' to the departure of Eric García. A year later, and two days before playing the first day of the Spanish competition, right now players such as Iñigo Martínez, Dani Olmo, Pablo Torre, Pau Víctor, Héctor Fort, Vitor Roque or Álex Valle are still not registered on the official LaLiga website.

Pau Cubarsí and Eric García had a different fortune, since since last Wednesday they appear on the LaLiga page with their new numbers, 2 and 3 respectively, and they will be available for the duel against Valencia. The Catalans continue to work incessantly on this problem and will be able to register their players up to five minutes before the game at Mestalla. In that sense, the Catalans have the 'trick' of the 40 million from Aramark, whose documentation has not yet been received by the employers and which go directly to financial 'fair play'.

Once these files reach LaLiga and are validated, the Blaugranas will be able to register more footballers. According to 'SPORT', Barça does not rule out the option of some of the players who are on the 'exit ramp' and are registered (in the Lenglet case) to be included in Flick's squad and even have minutes on Saturday. Furthermore, although the majority of registered players already appear with a number, the club still has room to make changes, so signings such as Cancelo, whose '2' is used by Cubarsí, cannot be ruled out.

Tranquility with Olmo

Beyond all this, from the Spotify Camp Nou offices they convey tranquility with the registration of Olmo, the star recruitment of the summer in Barcelona. The player is one of those affected by the institution's financial 'obstacles', but according to what was reported by 'AS', the Blaugranas are absolutely convinced that the player from Egarense will be available for Hansi Flick on August 17. Time is running against Barça.
