Barca will register new recruits ahead of La Liga opener: Flick

Barcelona coach Hansi Flick remains confident his club will register key players including new signings Joan Garcia and Marcus Rashford in time for Saturday's La Liga opener at Mallorca, despite ongoing financial fair play complications.

The Spanish champions are still scrambling to register players due to La Liga’s strict financial rules, having spent more on signings and wages than they have generated in revenue for multiple seasons.

“For me, the situation, you can imagine I'm not happy about that. But I know the situation and I believe in the club,” Flick told reporters on Friday.

“We have to wait till tomorrow. It was the same situation last season.

“We will focus on what we can change and what is in our hands. The other things, I believe in the club.”

Barcelona signed goalkeeper Garcia from local rivals Espanyol in June while Wojciech Szczesny has signed an extension, but neither player has been registered yet.

The club's registration headache has been partly resolved through some dramatic internal manoeuvring involving captain Marc-Andre ter Stegen.

The German keeper initially refused to sign a long-term medical leave agreement that would clear 80% of his wages and help the club comply with financial rules.
